have been received from either party.
Having carefully reviewed and considered de novo all the materials in the file, the Court
concludes the magistrate judge’s findings are due to be and are hereby ADOPTED and her
recommendation is ACCEPTED. Accordingly, the petition for writ of habeas corpus is due to be
