Case No. 7:15-cv-2258-KOB-TMP

MEMORANDUM OPINION
The magistrate judge filed his report and recommendation on June 14, 2016, recommending
dismissal of petitioner's 28 U.S.C. § 2254 petition for habeas corpus relief. (Doc. 13). Petitioner,
through the assistance of an inmate law clerk, filed objections, titled as an opposition, to the report
and recommendation. (Doc. 14).
Having now carefully considered de novo all the materials in the court file, including the
report and recommendation and the objections, the court finds that the magistrate judge's report is due
to be ADOPTED and the recommendation ACCEPTED.
The court, therefore, finds that the claim for habeas corpus relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254
in the above-styled cause is due to be DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE as time-barred.
DONE and ORDERED this 6th day of July, 2016.
