ORDER

SAM LINDSAY, District Judge

Before the court is Brown's Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus, filed July 12, 2007. Pursuant to Special Order 3-251, the complaint was referred to United States Magistrate Judge Paul D. Stickney. On February 25, 2009, the Findings, Conclusions, and Recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge ("Report") was filed. No objections to the Report have been filed.

This is a habeas petition filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. The magistrate judge found that the petition was barred by the one-year statute of limitations of the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 and that Petitioner is not entitled to equitable tolling. Having reviewed the petition, file, record, and the Report in this case, the court determines that the findings and conclusions are correct. The magistrate judge's findings and conclusions are therefore accepted as those of the court. Accordingly, the court dismisses with prejudice the writ of habeas corpus, as it is barred by the one-year limitations period. It is so ordered
