In this action brought by petitioner Rafael Alvaro Prieto under 28 U.S.C. § 2254, the Court has made an independent review of the following matters in the above-styled and numbered cause:

3. The petitioner's written objections to the proposed findings, conclusions, and recommendation of the United States magistrate judge filed on February 11, 2005.

The Court, after de novo review, concludes that Prieto's objections must be overruled, and that the petition for writ of habeas corpus should be denied for the reasons stated in the magistrate judge's findings and conclusions.

It is therefore ORDERED that the findings, conclusions, and recommendation of the magistrate judge should be, and are hereby, ADOPTED.
