This case is before the Court pursuant to the Order of General Reference in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio Western Division to United States Magistrate Judge Karen L. Litkovitz. Pursuant to such reference, the Magistrate Judge reviewed the pleadings filed with this Court, and, on May 7, 2015, submitted a Report and Recommendations. (Doc. 28). Neither party filed objections.
On June 3, 2015, Petitioner moved for a 90-day extension of time to reply to the Report and Recommendations. (Doc. 29). The Court granted Petitioner's request in part, giving Petitioner up to and including July 23, 2015, to: "(1) file any objections he has to the Order and Report and Recommendations (Doc. 28); and/or (2) file a reply brief responding to the return of writ filed by Respondent on March 31, 2015 (Doc. 25) or file a written pleading requesting withdrawal of his petition for exhaustion purposes." (See June 8, 2015 Notation Order). To date, the Court has not received any further filings from Petitioner. --------

Upon consideration of the foregoing, the Court does determine that such Report and Recommendations should be and is hereby ADOPTED in its entirety. Accordingly, for the foregoing reasons:
Petitioner's motion for stay and abeyance (Doc. 24) is DENIED.
IT IS SO ORDERED. Date: 8/25/2015
