MEMORANDUM OPINION
This is a habeas corpus case brought pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 by Rodney Dale
Alverson, an Alabama state prisoner acting pro se. In addition to the petition itself (Doc.
1), Alverson has filed numerous miscellaneous pending motions. (Docs. 8, 10, 11, 12, 14,
15, 22, 23, 24, 25, and 26). On March 13, 2013, the Magistrate Judge entered a report
recommending that the petition and all pending motions be denied. (Doc. 27). Alverson
has filed a response in which he states he is not going to object to the Magistrate Judge’s
report and recommendation. (Doc. 28).
Having carefully reviewed and considered de novo all the materials in the court
file, including the findings and recommendation of the magistrate judge, the court is of
the opinion that the magistrate judge’s findings are due to be adopted and his
recommendation accepted. As a result, all of Alverson’s pending motions (Docs. 8, 10,
11, 12, 14, 15, 22, 23, 24, 25, and 26) are due to be denied. His § 2254 petition is

likewise due to be denied, and this action is due to be dismissed with prejudice. A
separate final judgment will be entered.
Done this 10th day of September, 2013.
