Case No. 2:04-CV-1144 (S.D. Ohio Jul. 25, 2006)

Opinion

Case No. 2:04-CV-1144.

July 25, 2006

OPINION AND ORDER

ALGENON MARBLEY, District Judge

On May 12, 2006, the Magistrate Judge issued a Report and Recommendation recommending dismissal of claim five of the instant habeas corpus petition pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254.¹ Petitioner has filed objections to the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation. Petitioner again argues that the evidence was constitutionally insufficient to sustain his conviction on carrying a concealed weapon because the evidence failed to establish either his possession or use of the knife as a weapon, and because only one knife was entered into evidence, although testimony reflected that police found a buck knife in petitioner's pocket, and the victim found another knife shoved down into the side of the chair where petitioner had been seated.

1 The remainder of petitioner's claims were dismissed on April 20, 2006. Doc. No. 22.

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 636(b)(1), this Court has conducted a de novo review of those portions of the Report and Recommendation objected to by petitioner. For the reasons discussed in the Magistrate Judge's Order and Report and Recommendation, petitioner's objections are OVERRULED.

The Order and Report and Recommendation is ADOPTED and AFFIRMED. This action is hereby DISMISSED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
