Judge Buckles also carefully considers each significant date and gives Petitioner the benefit of any doubt as to the filing of pleadings in the state court and in this Court. The Court agrees with Judge Buckles that Petitioner s Petitioner is time barred and should therefore be dismissed. The Court therefore adopts Judge Buckles Report and Recommendation in its entirety. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Petitioner s Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, [Doc. No. 1], is dismissed. A separate Order of Dismissal is entered this same date. Dated this 15th day of March, 2011. _______________________________ HENRY EDWARD AUTREY UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE -2-
