MEMORANDUM OPINION
This is a habeas corpus case brought pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 2254 by Petitioner Casey
Lynn Couch, pro se, an Alabama state prisoner confined at Julia Tutwiler Prison for Women. On
March 5, 2013, the magistrate judge entered findings and a recommendation that the action is due
to be dismissed. (Doc. 23). Couch has now filed timely objections to the magistrate judge’s
recommendation. (Doc. 25).
Having carefully reviewed and considered de novo all the materials in the court file,
including the findings and recommendation and Couch’s objections, the court is of the opinion
that the magistrate judge’s findings are due to be and are hereby ADOPTED and his
recommendation is ACCEPTED. Couch’s objections are due to be and hereby are
OVERRULED. As a result, Couch’s § 2254 habeas application is due to be DENIED. A
separate final judgment will be entered.
DONE, this the 3rd day of July, 2013
