ORDER Overruling Petitioner's Objections, Adopting the Report and Recommendation, Denying the Amended Habeas Petition, Dismissing the Action with Prejudice, and Directing the Clerk to Terminate the Case
Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636, the Court has reviewed the First Amended Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus, the respondent's answer and accompanying memorandum, the lodged state-court documents, petitioner's traverse and the accompanying memorandum, the Report and Recommendation ("R&R") of the United States Magistrate Judge, and petitioner's objections to the R&R. Respondent did not exercise his Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(2) right to file a response to the objections. As required by Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3), the Court has engaged in de novo review of the portions of the R&R to which petitioner has specifically objected and finds no error of law, fact, or logic in the Magistrate Judge's R&R.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED:
Petitioner's objection [Doc # 44] is OVERRULED.
The Report and Recommendation [Doc # 36] is ADOPTED.
The First Amended Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus [Doc # 7] is DENIED.
This action is dismissed with prejudice and the case is TERMINATED.
As required by Fed. R. Civ. P. 58(a), final judgment will be entered by separate document. Dated: July 7, 2015
