Subsequently, on October 19, 2012 (upon the Court's extension of the deadline), petitioner submitted objections to certain portions of the Report and Recommendation. Accordingly, the Court has reviewed the petition and the underlying record de novo.
Having done so, the Court finds itself in complete agreement with Magistrate Judge Maas's Report and Recommendation and hereby adopts its reasoning by reference. Accordingly, the Court dismisses the petition in all respects. Clerk to enter judgment.
