pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. 

 On November 29, 2007, the Magistrate Judge issued Findings and Recommendation that

Respondent’s motion to dismiss the petition be DENIED as MOOT. This Findings and

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

filed within thirty (30) days of the date of service of the order. Over thirty (30) days have passed

and no party has filed objections.

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, the Court finds that the

Findings and Recommendation is supported by the record and proper analysis. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Findings and Recommendation issued November 29, 2007, is ADOPTED IN

FULL;
