RESPONDENT.

On March 20,2013, Petitioner Shamar L. Banks file this Petition for Writ of
Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Consistent with local practice, the
matter was referred to United States Magistrate Robert E. Weir for initial

After carefully considering the record, the Court finds the report and
recommendation well taken and shall adopt the same as and for its own opinion.

Accordingly, IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED AND ADJUDGED,

that the Magistrate Judge's report and recommendation [Docket No.
2] is hereby APPROVED and ADOPTED as and for the Court's
opinion and

(2) that in conformity therewith, this matter be TRANSFERRED to the
