Case No. CIV-15-257-M

ORDER
On August 22, 2017, Magistrate Judge Charles B. Goodwin issued a Report and
Recommendation in this action brought by the Petitioner Omar Jamon Hill, appearing
pro se, seeking this Court for a writ of habeas corpus, challenging through 28 U.S.C. §
2254 the constitutionality of his criminal conviction by the State of Oklahoma. The
Magistrate Judge recommended that the Petition under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 be denied.
The parties were advised of their right to file an objection by September 12, 2017. The
Magistrate Judge further advised that failure to timely object to the Report and
Recommendation waives the right to appellate review of both factual and legal issues.
The Petitioner filed his untimely objection on October 12, 2017 [Docket no. 15]. The
Petitioner’s objections stood on the grounds made in his original Petition, which was
denied.

Accordingly, upon de novo review, the Court:
(1)

ADOPTS the Report and Recommendation [docket no. 12] issued by the

Magistrate judge on August 22, 2017, and
(2)

DENIES the Petition under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 [Docket no. 1].

IT IS SO ORDERED this 24th day of October 2017.
