______________________________________________________________________________
This habeas corpus case is before the Court on the Decision and Order on Reconsideration
(doc. no. 31) issued by United States Magistrate Judge Michael R. Merz, to whom this case was
referred pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b). Pro se Petitioner filed objections to the Decision and
Order on Reconsideration. Doc. No. 32. As required by 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) and Fed. R. Civ. P.
72(a), the Court has reviewed the comprehensive findings of the Magistrate Judge and considered
de novo all filings in this matter, including Petitioner’s objections.
Upon careful de novo consideration of the foregoing, the Court determines that the
Decision and Order on Reconsideration (doc. no. 31) should be adopted and that Petitioner’s
objections (doc. no. 32) should be overruled. Accordingly, the Court: (1) ADOPTS the Decision
and Order of the Magistrate Judge (doc. no. 31) in its entirety; (2) OVERRULES Petitioner’s
objections (doc. no. 32); and (3) DENIES Petitioner’s motion to reconsider the Court’s denial of
his prior motion to stay (doc. no. 30).
