Summary of this case from Snyder v. Sec'y, DOCOpinion
CIVIL ACTION NO. 1:06cv256-MHT (WO).
January 30, 2009
OPINION
Pursuant to 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254, petitioner filed this habeas-corpus case. This lawsuit is now before the court on the recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge that the habeas-corpus request be denied as timebarred. Also before the court are petitioner's objections to the recommendation. After an independent and de novo review of the record, the court concludes that the objections should be overruled and the magistrate judge's recommendation adopted.
An appropriate judgment will be entered.
