CIVIL ACTION NO. 2:08-cv-00936.

September 8, 2009

ORDER

JOSEPH GOODWIN, District Judge

Pending before the court is the respondent's Motion for Summary Judgment [Docket 13]. This action was referred to the Honorable Mary E. Stanley, United States Magistrate Judge, for submission to this court of proposed findings of fact and recommendation for disposition ("PF R"), pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B). The Magistrate Judge has submitted findings of fact and recommended that the court grant the respondent's motion for summary judgment and deny the petitioner's § 2554 petition.

The petitioner timely filed written objections to the Magistrate Judge's PF R. The court has performed a de novo review of those portions of the findings and recommendations that the petitioner objected. The court FINDS that the objections are without merit. The court agrees with the thorough analysis of the Magistrate Judge. The court DIRECTS the Clerk to send a copy of this Order to counsel of record and any unrepresented party.
