ORDER DISMISSING PETITION

FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS

ORDER DIRECTING CLERK TO

ENTER JUDGMENT

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a

Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. 

On June 28, 2006, the Magistrate Judge filed Findings and

Recommendations that Respondent's motion to dismiss be GRANTED, and

the habeas corpus petition be DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE for

Petitioner's failure to comply with 28 U.S.C. § 2244(d)'s one-year

limitation period. These Findings and Recommendations were served

on all parties and contained notice that any objections were to be

filed within thirty (30) days from the date of service of that

order. On July 28, 2006, Petitioner filed a motion to extend time.

On August 28, 2006, the court granted Petitioner an additional

thirty (30) days within which to respond. On October 4, 2006,

Petitioner filed a response to the Findings and Recommendations. 

On January 3, 2007, pursuant to the Court's order of December 11,

2006, Petitioner provided further briefing. (Court Doc. 31.) 

In his January 3, 2007, briefing, Petitioner states that he

has submitted evidence which demonstrates his state of mind during

the relevant time period, as is relevant to his claim for equitable

tolling based on his medical condition and prescribed medications. 

As with the previous evidence addressed in the Findings and

Recommendations, the current exhibits demonstrate that Petitioner

was free from medication and in remission as of April 22, 1999. 

Further, Petitioner was released from the mental health treatment

population on April 22, 2000. Petitioner remained free from the

mental health treatment population until March 22, 2001. (Court

Doc. 31, at pgs.20, 22, 23.) As stated in the Findings and

Recommendations, Petitioner has simply failed to demonstrate that

he was unable to file the petition in a timely manner, as there was

a substantial period of time in which Petitioner was free from the

mental health condition and medication, and Petitioner fails to

demonstrate that he acted diligently during this time frame or that

there was a "but-for" connection between any alleged mental health

condition and the untimely filing of the instant petition. 

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636

(b)(1)(C), this Court has conducted a de novo review of the case. 

Having carefully reviewed the entire file, including Petitioner's

response, the Court concludes that the Magistrate Judge's Findings

and Recommendations are supported by the record and proper

analysis. Petitioner's response presents no grounds for

questioning the Magistrate Judge's analysis.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Findings and Recommendations, filed June 28, 2006,

are ADOPTED IN FULL;

2. Respondent's motion to dismiss, filed January 13, 2006,

is GRANTED;

3. The habeas corpus petition is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE

for Petitioner's failure to comply with 28 U.S.C. § 2244(d)'s oneyear limitation period; and,

4. The Clerk of Court enter judgment.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
