Case No. CIV-16-448-D

ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
Petitioner, a state prisoner appearing pro se, filed a Petition for Writ of
Habeas Corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 challenging, among other things, the
voluntariness of her guilty plea to the charge of first degree murder. The matter
was referred to United States Magistrate Judge Charles Goodwin for initial
proceedings under 28 U.S.C. §§ 636(b)(1)(B) and (C). On January 25, 2017, Judge
Goodwin submitted his Report and Recommendation (“R&R” or “Report”) in
which he recommended that the Petition be summarily dismissed.
In his Report, Judge Goodwin advised Petitioner of her right to file an
objection and directed any objections be filed on or before February 15, 2017.
R&R at 12. Judge Goodwin further advised Petitioner that failure to timely object
would result in a waiver of the right to appellate review of both factual and legal
issues contained in the report. Id. The time for filing objections has passed, and
Petitioner has neither filed an objection nor sought an extension of time to do so.

Accordingly, the Report and Recommendation is ADOPTED in its entirety, as
though fully set forth herein.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 3rd day of March, 2017.
