1. The magistrate judge's Report and Recommendation is adopted and incorporated by reference in this order.
2. Petitioner's attempts to amend his habeas petition to add the claims asserted in his Reply (doc. 25) and his Proposed Second Amended Petition ( see doc. 33, attachment) are DENIED as futile, since they are time barred.

4 A certificate of appealability is DENIED.
5. The clerk is directed to close the file.
DONE AND ORDERED this 25th day of February, 2011.
