Petitioner Jason L. Jefferson, proceeding pro se, filed this action for a writ of habeas corpus on or about July 6, 2021. Doc. 1. Jefferson challenges his 2007 Shelby County conviction and 20 year sentence for first-degree robbery. On July 11, 2022, the Magistrate Judge to whom the case was referred filed a Report and Recommendation pursuant to

(b), recommending that the habeas petition be dismissed with prejudice as time-barred. (Doc. 11). Although the petitioner was notified of his right to file objections within 14 days, that time expired with no objections having been filed. Having carefully reviewed and considered de novo all the materials in the court file, including the Report and Recommendation, the Court concludes that the Magistrate Judge’s findings are due to be and are hereby ADOPTED and the Recommendation is ACCEPTED. Accordingly, the petition for writ of habeas corpus is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE. Further, because the petition does not present issues that are debatable among jurists of reason, a certificate of appealability is DENIED. See
