Opinion

CASE NO. 2:07-CV-1000-WKW (WO).

February 20, 2008

ORDER

W. WATKINS, District Judge

On January 31, 2008, the Magistrate Judge filed a Recommendation (Doc. # 13) in this case, denying petitioner's Motion for Default Judgment (Doc. # 10). The petitioner filed an objection (Doc. # 15).¹

1 The petitioner's objection does not relate to the motion before the court, a motion for default judgment. His objectione states "the doctrine of actual innocence as presented in his motion-in-chief, and his reply, is sufficient, qua non, to open the AEDPA gateway in this action." (Doc. # 15.)

After an independent and de novo review of the record, it is the ORDER, JUDGMENT and DECREE of the Court that:

1. The objection (Doc. # 15) is OVERRULED;

2. The Recommendation (Doc. # 13) of the Magistrate Judge is ADOPTED;

3. The Motion for Default Judgment (Doc. # 10) is DENIED;

4. This case is REFERRED back to the Magistrate Judge for further proceedings.
