Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding through counsel, has filed an application for a writ

objections to the findings and recommendations were to be filed within fourteen days. Neither 

party has filed objections to the findings and recommendations.

ORDERED that:

1. The Findings and Recommendations, October 25, 2013, ECF No. 28, are 

ADOPTED IN FULL;
