U.S. DISTRICT COURT
N.D. OF ALABAMA

Case No. 2:14-cv-00431-KOB-TMP

MEMORANDUM OPINION
On December 16, 2016, the magistrate judge filed his Report and Recommendation in the
above-styled cause, recommending that the court dismissed as time-barred the petition for habeas
corpus relief filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. (Doc. 11). On December 28, 2016, the court
received a motion for extension of time to file objections from the petitioner (doc. 12), granted it
(doc. 13), and gave petitioner until January 31, 2017 to file objections to the Report and
Recommendation. To date, no party has filed any objections.
Having now carefully reviewed and considered de novo all the materials in the court file, the
court ADOPTS the magistrate judge’s report and ACCEPTS his recommendation. Consequently,
the court finds that the petition for writ of habeas corpus filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 in the
above-styled cause is due to be DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.
The court will enter a separate Order dismissing the petition.
DONE and ORDERED this 9th day of February, 2017.
