Opinion

Case No. 1:07cv659.

December 31, 2008


ORDER


Before the Court is the October 24, 2008 Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation ("R R") (Doc. 28) regarding Petitioner's petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. (Doc. 1)

The parties were given proper notice, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C), including notice that the parties would waive further appeal if they failed to file objections to the R R in a timely manner. See United States v. Walters, 638 F.2d 947 (6th Cir. 1981). Petitioner filed timely objections to the R R. (Doc. 29) On November 12, 2008, the Magistrate Judge subsequently filed a Supplemental R R. (Doc. 30) Petitioner did not file any objections to the Supplemental R R.

Upon de novo review of this matter, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636, the Court finds no error in the Magistrate Judge's Supplemental R R. Accordingly, the November 12, 2008 Supplemental R R (Doc. 30) is hereby ADOPTED.

The Court DISMISSES WITH PREJUDICE Petitioner's petition for writ of habeas corpus. Petitioner is hereby DENIED any leave to appeal in forma pauperis and any requested certificate of appealability.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
