ORDER
Petitioner Paul Edward Gabler, II, appearing pro se, seeks a writ of habeas corpus
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B),(C), the matter was
referred to Magistrate Judge Amanda Maxfield Green for initial proceedings. On May 6,
2024, Judge Green issued a Report and Recommendation recommending the court dismiss
petitioner’s petition for writ of habeas corpus with prejudice as time-barred under the
Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 (“AEDPA”). Petitioner was
advised of his right to object to the Report and Recommendation, and he has filed a timely
objection.
Petitioner objects to the entire Report and Recommendation and asserts his petition
is not in error but is based on exculpatory evidence. In his objection, however, petitioner
does not address whether his petition is time-barred under the AEDPA. Having reviewed
the petition for writ of habeas corpus, the Report and Recommendation, and petitioner’s
objections, the court concludes petitioner’s petition is time-barred and should be dismissed
with prejudice.

Accordingly, the court ADOPTS the Report and Recommendation [Doc. #9] and
DISMISSES the petition for writ of habeas corpus with prejudice.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated this 4th day of June, 2024.
