ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION AND DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS

DAVID McKEAGUE, District Judge

Petitioner Timothy Warren Taylor having petitioned the Court for writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254; and

The petition having been reviewed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) by the United States Magistrate Judge who, on April 20, 2005, issued a report and recommendation recommending that the petition be denied as time barred; and

The report and recommendation having been duly served on the parties and no objection having been filed within the time permitted by law; and

The Court noting that petitioner has failed to invoke the doctrine of equitable tolling; and

The Court having duly considered the report and recommendation and finding that it is well-reasoned and in accord with applicable law; now therefore,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the report and recommendation is ADOPTED as the opinion of the Court; and

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that petition for writ of habeas corpus is DENIED because it is barred by the statute of limitations.
