ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION RE: DISMISSAL OF PETITION AS TIME-BARRED
JEFFREY T. MILLER, District Judge.
On June 26, 2009 Magistrate Judge William McCurine, Jr. entered a Report and Recommendation recommending the grant of Respondent's motion to dismiss the Petition as time-barred ("R & R"). The R & R, expressly incorporated herein, thoroughly and thoughtfully analyzed Petitioner's claims and recommended that the petition be dismissed as time-barred. Petitioner has filed objections to the R & R ("Objections"). Respondent did not file a reply to the Objections. Pursuant to Local Rule 7.1(d)(1), this matter is appropriate for decision without oral argument.
In his Objections, Petitioner sets forth essentially the same arguments raised in the Petition and addressed in the R & R. Instead of responding to these arguments a second time, the court adopts the R & R in its entirety. The Petition is dismissed as time-barred.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
