ROBERT LEE SANDERS PETITIONER v. LARRY NORRIS, Director, Arkansas Department of Correction RESPONDENT. ORDER SUSAN WRIGHT, District Judge The Court has received proposed findings and recommendations from United States Magistrate Judge Henry L. Jones, Jr. After careful review of the findings and recommendations and the timely objections thereto, as well as a de novo review of the record, the Court concludes that the findings and recommendations should be, and are hereby, approved and adopted as this Court's findings in all respects in their entirety. Judgment shall be entered accordingly. Petitioner takes issue with the finding that the untimeliness of his Rule 37 petition was caused not by interference by state officials but because it appears he placed his petition in the mail on October 8, only two days before the October 10 deadline. Petitioner contends he placed his petition in the prison mail box on October 6, 4 days before the deadline. He argues that the prison must have delayed or interfered with his mail because the petition should have reach the state court by October 10. He further claims the mail should have reached the state court even if it had been placed in the mail on October 8 as found by the court. The Court finds there is no evidence of interference by state officials. Submissions by petitioner reflect a guard put petitioner's mail under the door of the mail room the night of October 6 and funds were deducted from his prison account on the morning of October 8 to pay for postage.
