Case No.: 1:13-cv-01779-LSC-SGC

MEMORANDUM OF OPINION
On August 18, 2016, the magistrate judge entered a report recommending this petition for
writ of habeas corpus, filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, be denied as time-barred. (Doc. 12).
On September 2, 2016, Petitioner filed objections to the magistrate judge's report and
recommendation. (Doc. 13). Petitioner's objections present no new evidence or arguments to
overcome the conclusion that his claims are time-barred. Accordingly, Petitioner's objections are
OVERRULED.
After careful consideration of the record in this case and the magistrate judge’s report, the
court ADOPTS the report of the magistrate judge and ACCEPTS her recommendations. In
accordance with the recommendation, the court finds the petition is due to be denied as timebarred. A certificate of appealability is due to be denied.
A separate order will be entered.
DONE and ORDERED on September 12, 2016.
