Petaway v. Warden Warren Correctional Instituton Doc. 25 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF OHIO EASTERN DIVISION DEVONNE PETAWAY, Petitioner, CASE NO. 2:10-CV-533 JUDGE MARBLEY MAGISTRATE JUDGE KING v. WANZA JACKSON, WARDEN, WARREN CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTION, Respondent. ORDER On September 22, 2011, the United States Magistrate Judge recommended that the claims asserted in the petition for a writ of habeas corpus be dismissed as either waived or without merit. Report and Recommendation, Doc. No. 20. This matter is now before the Court on Petitioner’s objections to that recommendation. Objection, Doc. No. 24. The Court will consider the matter de novo. See 28 U.S.C. §636(b); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b). Petitioner alleges in this action under 28 U.S.C. §2254 that his speedy trial rights were denied him because he was not tried within ninety (90) days as required by Ohio law and that his trial and appellate counsel were ineffective for failing to pursue this issue at trial or on appeal. The Magistrate Judge reasoned that Petitioner procedurally defaulted his first three claims and that his counsel was not effective because the approximate seven month period between petitioner’s arrest and trial violated neither Ohio law nor the Sixth Amendment. Report and Recommendation. In his objections, Petitioner again raises all the arguments that he presented to the Magistrate Judge. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b), this Court has conducted a de novo review. For the reasons already detailed in the Report and Recommendation, this Court likewise concludes that Petitioner’s claims fail to warrant federal habeas corpus relief. Dockets.Justia.com Petitioner’s Objection, Doc. 24, is DENIED. The Report and Recommendation, Doc. No. 20, is ADOPTED and AFFIRMED. This action is hereby DISMISSED. The Clerk is DIRECTED to enter FINAL JUDGMENT. s/Algenon L. Marbley ALGENON L. MARBLEY United States District Judge 2
