MEMORANDUM OPINION
David Lee May (“the petitioner”), has filed a pro se petition for writ of habeas corpus
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. (Doc. 1). The magistrate judge assigned this case filed his report and
recommendation, recommending that the petition for writ of habeas corpus be dismissed with
prejudice due to the fact that it is barred by the applicable statute of limitations. (Doc. 8). The
petitioner has objected to the same, asserting that his delay in instituting this proceeding was due to
his mental deficiencies, prison personnel, and predatory jail house lawyers. (Doc. 9).
The court has considered the entire file in this action together with the magistrate judge's
Report and Recommendation and has reached an independent conclusion that the Magistrate Judge's
Report and Recommendation is due to be adopted and approved. The court hereby adopts and
approves the findings and recommendation of the magistrate judge as the findings and conclusions
of the court. In accord with the recommendation, this petition for writ of habeas corpus is due to be
dismissed with prejudice. An appropriate order will be entered.
DONE, this the 4th day of May, 2015.
