ORDER OVERRULING OBJECTIONS AND ADOPTING THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION

RON CLARK, District Judge.

Petitioner Keith Andre Wilson, a prisoner confined within the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Correctional Institutions Division, proceeding pro se, filed the above-styled petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. The court previously referred this matter to the Honorable Zack Hawthorn, United States Magistrate Judge, at Beaumont, Texas, for consideration pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636 and applicable orders of this court.

Petitioner has filed a motion seeking a default judgment (doc. no. 15). The Magistrate Judge has submitted a Report and Recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge concerning this motion. The Magistrate Judge recommends denying the motion.

The court has received and considered the Report and Recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge, along with the record and pleadings. Petitioner filed objections to the Report and Recommendation.

The court has conducted a de novo review of petitioner's objections. After careful consideration, the court is of the opinion the objections are without merit. Based on an extension of time granted by the court, the Magistrate Judge correctly concluded that the respondent's answer was timely filed.

ORDER

Accordingly, the objections filed by petitioner to the Report and Recommendation are OVERRULED. The findings of fact and conclusions of law of the Magistrate Judge are correct and the report of the Magistrate Judge is ADOPTED as the opinion of the court. Petitioner's motion for a default judgment is DENIED.

So Ordered and Signed.
