MADDOX v. POLLARD

WILLIAM GRIESBACH, District Judge

On November 17, 2008, Cornelius R. Maddox filed this petition pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, asserting that his state court conviction and sentence were imposed in violation of the Constitution. Petitioner was convicted in Milwaukee County Circuit Court on April 16, 1996, as a party to the crime, of one count of armed robbery and two counts of false imprisonment while armed, and was sentenced to 43 years imprisonment. He is currently incarcerated at the Green Bay Correctional Institution.

In my review of the petition under Rule 4 of the Rules Governing § 2254 Cases, I determined that the petition appeared untimely under 28 U.S.C. § 2244(d)(1). (Doc. # 2.) I directed Maddox to show cause why his application for federal habeas relief is not time-barred within 30 days of the Court's order of December 2, 2008. The order indicated that failure to respond within 30 days would result in dismissal of the petition with prejudice. As Maddox has not responded, his petition is DISMISSED with prejudice.
