Completely in agreement with previous reviewers. The hosts are very thoughtful, welcoming, and gracious. The house is just as pictured. Cool Missoula bungalow with character in a good location and close to everything.FrancesSeptember 2014
Great place. Anne took care of me even know reservations got a little messed up. She made it work. Place was great. Clean and great location.NickMarch 2015
Ann and Warren are cool, kind, and real people. I wish I had several more days in Missoula just to converse with them. Their pets are just as cool as they are. Their cottage-like home is eclectic and warm. I instantly felt like I could be myself in their home; as a result, I had a hard time leaving. The ambiance emanated in Ann and Warren's home is, I believe, rare in today's culture. If you are passing through Missoula, I definitely recommend a stop at their household. The icing on the cake: Warren makes the best coffee in town!MelissaDecember 2014
Ann and Warren are awesome! I loved to stay at their place because they are so welcoming, helpful and hospitable. Also the location is perfect - very close to downtown. I would definitely recommend staying at their house!!KatharinaNovember 2014
We had just one night with Ann,...we were there to see a show at the Wilma but would hope to stay again if ever in Missuola again. Ann was extremely helpful of all thing Missuola which made our short time there very efficient. The beds were very comfy, felt we could come and go easily without being in each other's space and having the half bath was perfect for us. Couldn't be better so thank you Ann. By the way, Nathaniel was amazing!MonicaMay 2016
Ann was kind and considerate, welcoming me with email and a note, and familiarizing me with herself and the space. It was a comfortable setting close to town and the river and Ann gave me directions around town and the local area. Ann's collections and style made for a lovely space to stay for a trip away.Jo-LynnNovember 2014
Ann's home is beautiful and very homely. We arrived but Ann was out of town so we met her lovely pets instead and had such a wonderful night's sleep. We met Warren the next morning and he was such a delight to talk to! We left for breakfast as per Ann's recommendation at the Catalyst Cafe not knowing we left our laundry bag back at her house and Warren drove down and handed it to us personally!! Such kindness! Would definitely visit again!JoshuaNovember 2015
Ann's place was great. She gave great instructions and was very flexible with our late arrival time. Her home had a very cool style and her pets were friendly and docile. No problems with pet allergies. All this for an amazing price! Would highly recommend .LaurenNovember 2015

Jill and her husband were very welcoming hosts. They gave us restaurant and bar recommendations which were great. The little apartment we stayed in was immaculate and had everything we needed. I would definitely recommend staying at jills if you come through Missoula.NatalieSeptember 2016
Great stay and a super-accommodating host. Was in town for a night before a wedding and stayed in the loft space. Ceilings are bit low clearance for taller guests (I'm 6'2") but it's totally manageable. The space as a whole is a totally charming mother-in-law with all the amenities. Location could only be better if it was built in the dead center of town! It's easily within walking distance of downtown (a 5min walk). We never connected with Jill in person, but she was super-communicative and made things easy checking in. She even set us up with an iron and ironing board for our wedding clothes. Can't wait for our next trip to Missoula and hope we can stay there again!ChrisSeptember 2016
Great location. Clean and comfortable. The check-in was easy and straightforward and the space was just as Jill described in the listing. We especially enjoyed the location within walking distance to shops and restaurants.TheresaSeptember 2016
Excellent location. The apartment was walking distance from the downtown area. Jill was flexible with check in which we really appreciated. The ceilings are low which would have been difficult for my 6'2" boyfriend had we been staying for more than one night. Overall we had a great experience and you can't beat the price!!JocelynAugust 2016
Great stay and convenient to downtown businesses. Jill is very easy to work with and quick with all communication. A perfect experience for a last minute booking.KellySeptember 2016
Beautiful place. We enjoyed our stay in this unique, old house.RobSeptember 2016
Had a great stay and enjoyed the location. Bed was comfortable!JeffOctober 2016
The unit was impeccably clean clean clean, the bed was heavenly, the linens and pillows were wonderful. It is an adorable home. The owner was kind enough to allow us in early and to have the AC on and cooling the space. She was lovely to work with. I have a bad back and found it difficult to climb the steep shallow stairs to the third floor attic room and I am 5'10' with a 6'2" husband. We had to crouch most of the time in the room, except when standing in the exact center of the rooms. The shower is also in a sloped area and was impossible to stand in. It is an adorable place that would be perfect and wonderful for smaller, younger people. Any negative issues were "our" issues and not the units.RitaAugust 2016

Clean and cozy. Super comfy bed. Michelle was very kind. We loved our stay!KristinFebruary 2014
Thanks Michele. Your little retreat was just what we needed after a very long trip. It was warm and cozy, the bed was comfortable and the treats in the fridge were perfect. Bella enjoyed playing with the boys. We hope to see you around. R,C,& IRyanFebruary 2016
My boyfriend and I stayed at Michelle's for 3 nights during a scientific conference at the university. This space was exactly what we needed- clean, spacious, private and affordable. The separate entry made it very easy to come and go without disturbing Michelle and her kids, and it was very close to everything we needed. My only complaint was that the bed was way too comfortable, making it very difficult to get up and leave in the morning! Next time I'm in Missoula, I will absolutely be back!RachelMarch 2014
Michelle is a really friendly host, and her house very comfortable in a quiet and nice neighborhood. I felt like home during 4 weeks, and I strongly recommend that rental.GabrielleJune 2014
We enjoyed our stay at Michelle's! The apartment is comfortable and provided everything we needed during our one-week stay. It truly is the perfect vacation location.BarbaraNovember 2016
The place was adorable and cozy. So much privacy. Its pretty close to the University and downtown, which was perfect for us. Great time! Next time we come back we will stay here again :)SarahFebruary 2014
We spent our anniversary trip in Missoula and wanted a place that offered coziness and privacy. Michelle's place was everything we wanted and close to the mall and downtown. The den area was cozy and inviting, the bed was amazing and the full kitchen was a nice extra. She was gracious & was available when we needed her but left us on our own for privacy. We highly recommend her place and hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did!JanetApril 2014
Michelle was a really nice and friendly host. She was available when needed but mostly left me to my privacy. The apartment is spacious and comfortable, and having a full kitchen was great. The location is great too. Close to lots of nice hiking and walking trails. Thanks, Michelle!KellyOctober 2014

It was a great place, clean, cute and quiet! Loved it. Hosts had everything we needed.CherylAugust 2015
We really enjoyed staying in the space hosted by Rachel and her husband. After a long couple of days on the road, it was wonderful to relax in a warm hot tub and cook a meal in the well-stocked kitchen. Lots of tea, coffee, oil and vinegar; bathroom stocked with towels, robes, shampoo and more. Rachel had tons of ideas for fun things to do in the area, and was flexible with our check in / check out times; amazing, considering she and her family were about to leave on an extended trip that day! Will definitely be staying here again.KirstenFebruary 2015
I had an absolutely delightful and overwhelmingly positive experience here. The Rattlesnake is a very sweet and also really scenic part of Missoula. The studio is wonderfully clean, private, but also so warm and cheerful, and very thoughtfully stocked. The hot tub is splendid! Great for stargazing :) Rachel and Mike were incredibly sweet and thoughtful. Their place is really close to Rattlesnake Gardens, a great spot for breakfast, and they are also really close to all things Missoula, especially if you have car or bike. Location, cleanliness, and lots of warmth (and horses across the road!).CarenOctober 2014
We had a wonderful stay in Missoula, and I'm so glad we chose this location. The listing was exactly as described and more spacious than I expected. We felt very at home, and Rachel does a great job of thinking of details- there was a bottle of local wine waiting for us, some convenience items stocked in the fridge, coffee, bath robes, etc. The location was excellent- inside Missoula but the Rattlesnake location makes you feel more like you're in the mountains than downtown. Rachel and Mike truly understand what makes a great Airbnb experience, and I think our trip ended up being better than it would have been had we stayed anywhere else. I would definitely stay here again!KristenMay 2016
Second visit to the studio. Rachel made our whole family feel welcome. Appreciate all the amenities such as the sparkling water in the frig, the variety of coffee and teas and the hot tub. We look forward to our next visit to Missoula.DonnellOctober 2016
It really was hot tub bliss. They thought of everything, even had robes to walk out to the tub. They are wonderful hosts and I will definitely use them again.ScottMay 2016
Rachel is a great host and the place is really cozy! The location is about 5-7 mins(driving) from downtown, and Rachel will give you a list of great places to visit while in Missoula.abelApril 2015
We had to made a last minute trip to Missoula. When we saw this listing on AirBnB we thought it was perfect. When we arrived it was better than we thought. The area is kind of rural - wonderful. The room was spotless and cozy. Rachel was a very welcoming hostess and was very accommodating and a warm presence on a cold, dreary day. It just doesn't get any nicer than this concerning friendliness, cleanliness; a very inviting, peaceful, relaxing home. If it could have more than five stars we would give it more.

Brilliant place, brilliant host. Walking distance to restaurants and bars. This'll be the first place I try to stay when I'm back in Missoula.Adrian ToddSeptember 2016
Josh was very communicative and friendly. Even though we never overlapped during my short stay he was an extremely welcoming host-- making suggestions for how I might spend my time, offering me eggs/toast, and making it super easy for me to know where to find things and how to use them in house house (for instance-- the great drawing of how to use the shower). They have a great book in which they capture advice from all the guests who stay in the home--great touch and a nice way to feel connected with the hosts. Recommend staying if you're in Missoula!JaneJuly 2016
Josh was not home when I arrived, though he communicated with me before and during my arrival/stay. When we did finally meet, I found Josh to be a warm, friendly fellow and felt very comfortable as his guest.KandaceSeptember 2016

Kim's house was just what we needed to feel at home during our one night in Missoula. We enjoyed a beautiful sunset on the deck and gentle summer thunderstorm while we fell asleep! Kim's friend Brittany hosted us while Kim was out of town and, despite never actually crossing paths in person due to technological issues, Brittany was super friendly and attentive to our needs during our stay.EmilyAugust 2015
I'm sad to say that my wife and I had one of our first sub-par airbnb experiences with Kim. We booked about a week before coming and Kim let us know that she would be out of town at Glacier National Park, which was fine. She later let me know that another couple would be staying at her place while we were there, which was also fine with us, although we hadn't really expected this would be the case. Our drive through Yellowstone took much longer than anticipated, so we ended up arriving quite late (around 11:30pm). I let Kim know this a bit later than hoped due to spotty cell reception in the mountains. I assumed that Kim would inform the other couple that we'd be arriving late, but I don't think she did so. Long story short, we ended up arriving in the dark at 11:30 after almost twelve hours of driving and found ourselves locked out. We knocked, rang the doorbell, and tried to call Kim - all to no avail. We were about to go find a hotel when finally the other couple came to the door (they hadn't heard us because they were in the basement). The hard part for me to understand/excuse was that Kim hadn't ever told us how to access the house (the location of the spare key) and hadn't communicated with the other couple that we'd be arriving late or provided their phone number to us so that we could do so. The room itself was fine, though pretty hot (it had been a hot day and there is, understandably, no air conditioning). Our bathroom was all the way upstairs, which was a bit of a pain, but not the end of the world. At the end of the day, the stay was fine, but for $84 I would much rather have skipped the hassle and booked a hotel.EvanAugust 2014
Great location, very comfortable! Kim is a great host, relaxed, and makes you feel at home. Recommend it if you're looking for a place in the foothills just outside downtown Missoula.BrendanOctober 2014
Kim's home was just what I needed for some space for a few days. It's tranquil and has beautiful views and steps away from trails in the Rattlesnake Wilderness and minutes from downtown Missoula. Very conveniently located. The beverage service in the morning was wonderful to have in the home and Brittany, who was helping Kim while traveling, was so nice and welcoming.IvieAugust 2015
Before we arrived, Kim contacted us to let us know that she would be travelling on the weekend we were staying but that she was leaving us in capable hands! Barley and Brittany were great hosts and very welcoming. The location was perfect for exploring Missoula. This listing was a great value.TaylorJuly 2014
We had a wonderful stay with Kim - wouldn't change anything about our time in her home. Very private accommodations, super clean, AMAZING morning coffee and tea, great advice on what to see and do, where to eat, and wonderful conversations. Hiking trails are right outside her door and its an easy few minutes drive into downtown Missoula. Hope to be back soon and will definitely plan to stay with Kim again.KempJuly 2016
We were welcomed by Kim at the door. She is very open and friendly. Kim gave us the tour and told us to feel at home. It was a nice plus to have access to the deck outside to enjoy the weather. It was also a plus to have inside space, other than our room, to sit and talk or watch tv.DebbieSeptember 2016
Kim and Liam were great hosts! We really felt welcomed into their home. The room was exactly as described, with beautiful views out of the window and off the deck. Netflix was a nice surprise after a few long days of traveling. Would go back in a heartbeat to this welcoming home. Thank you guys!KristinMay 2016

I needed a place to sleep right before the Missoula Marathon and Charlotte's place was perfect. The VW was clean and cozy, and Charlotte checked me when it started to rain to see if I needed an extra blanket. The UW campus was a quick drive away, less than 10 minutes!KathyJuly 2016
This was the second time staying in the van, once again it was an amazing stay!CodyOctober 2016
The Van was easy to find and the bed was made and ready to go when we arrived. It's a good option if you need a place to crash, get some shut eye, and stretch out vs. sleeping in your car.KevinOctober 2016
Never stayed here. I was given confirmation of a request at 11:45pm that night yet the host is unwilling to provide a refund. Then she tells me we chatted in the day which we did not and still won't refund me $29. POOR customer service on her end.JaneAugust 2016

Got there really late and left pretty early, but enjoyed it! Just an old van parked on the side of the street. That said, the street was quiet and had no traffic whatsoever during my stay. The bed is comfy and well made with plenty of pillows, maybe a little short but it's nothing too bad. Worth the price for sure!RogerJuly 2016

Tom's Cabin in the City was the perfect place to stay for us. He gave us all the information we needed ahead of time and even provided the promised local beer. The space was clean and included everything we needed and more! We love the beautiful University district in Missoula. This location is walking distance to the river trail, downtown, hiking, coffee shops, and campus. We will be back for sure!SusieAugust 2016
Tom's place was great. Never met Tom personally but he gave us a great referral for dinner via phone. The place was clean, comfortable, and well decorated. I recommend it strongly.StevenOctober 2016
Tom's place was the perfect stopover for us while in Missoula! It's located right in the heart of town, 5 minutes from downtown. The garage apartment is the cutest and makes the most of the space with all necessary amenities. The bed was super comfortable and the quiet neighborhood made for a good night's sleep! Tom was full of great advice for our stay in Missoula and travels to surrounding areas. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!JulieSeptember 2016
Great location near the university. Nice neighborhood. Great parking without worry of being towed. Cabin is great for a few night stay in Missoula without need for full kitchen. Bed is comfortable and heating/air system keeps things nice and fresh. Would definitely stay with Tom at one of his places again. Very responsive to recommendation requests and house questions, even though we didn't even get to meet!BaileySeptember 2016

Such a cute and stylish cabin above a garage in a terrific location and quiet neighborhood. It worked very well for the two of us and was warm and cozy in a Missoula snow storm! Tom was an attentive host. We will most likely stay again on our next visit.PamelaFebruary 2014
Tom's Cabin in the City is perfect and cozy - we had everything we needed, and Tom was extremely kind and quick to respond to any questions we had. Missoula is very easy to get around, and you are less than a mile from the main downtown area and there's even a delicious coffee shop literally next door to this spot. It was quiet, very clean and well-appointed. Do keep in mind, this spot is very small - but makes up for it will it's charm and location. It's at the top of stairs above a garage with private parking. In full-disclosure, the only thing it was lacking was a closet. Tom provides you with 3 wall hooks and hangars, but since we were attending a wedding, it was a bit tricky to hang our nice clothes, but there is plenty of drawer space. Bed is extremely comfortable - and good pillows! The couch pull-out is even bigger than the bed, and plenty of blankets were provided. Perfect for a couple - or 3 people if you are very good friends. We enjoyed having the small fridge and kitchen. Last thing to note is the internet here is a bit slow - and while normally on vacation we wouldn't mind, but had some work to take care of. Tom was great in dealing with this quickly, but we weren't able to do much with the internet here. All-in-all we very much enjoyed this spot and it was a beautiful and cozy stay (why we love AirBnb). Highly recommend Tom and any of his properties and would stay here again.MichelleJune 2016

Jeff was out of town during our stay but his home was clean and ready for us when we arrived. Had a great stay there. It was the perfect cozy little spot to get away for a long weekend. Have recommended it to several friends already. Thanks Jeff.ThomasMay 2015
Jeff's place is a gem! It was the perfect size/location/price for a weekend getaway for my husband and I. The place was bigger than I expected from the pictures, very clean and had everything we needed for a long weekend. It is a full studio apartment with parking. The area and the apartment are very quiet and close to town, and just a very short walk to a gorgeous park. We were in town for the Missoula Marathon weekend and Jeff was helpful in letting us know how to navigate around town and suggested some options for us to check out while we were there. He was a great host and his place is definitely on our list of places to stay next time we are in town. Can't recommend enough!LisaJuly 2016
We had such a marvelous time in Missoula staying at Jeff's. We were on a 3day bike tour coming from Whitefish, MT and his place was absolutely perfect for us. The pictures don't do justice how wonderful the surrounding area is. We knew nothing, really, about the town, but after exploring and talking to locals downtown it became clear to us that this neighborhood is DEFINITELY the prime spot to be in. Jeff was so helpful and communicative. There was coffee and some snacks upon our arrival (just what we needed after 8hours in the bike saddle). The space was clean, warm and comfy. We had our own bikes with us but I would definitely recommend using his if the weather permits. It's the best way to take in Missoula and Jeff knows so much about it. He pointed us in a lot of wonderful directions. I could go on and on but I won't. What I will say is that we already want to come back and stay here again :)Doug & ThiaSeptember 2014
Jeff is a gracious host who is very responsive but not intrusive. The apartment was perfect, very clean and the bed comfortableSusanAugust 2016
Everything worked out fine. We were comfortable in the apartment. It wasn't cheap, but nothing in Missoula seems to be inexpensive. The only suggestion would be the fireplace for heat. It was noisy as it turned on and off during the night, but after the first night, we got used to it. The location worked well for our purposes and we had no trouble coming and going as we needed .DanJune 2015
Jeff has a clean and comfortable studio that is pet friendly, spacious and a big park across the street. the kitchen made it easy to save money, making it easier to eat out for dinner. we will book again with him.akuaJanuary 2015
My fiancé and I definitely enjoyed our stay here! We were able to go downtown and to the Griz game very easily, then come back to this secluded place to rest and recharge! The apartment was the perfect size for the two if us to relax, and the electric fireplace was a real joy for us desert dwellers!

House and room are impeccably clean, in a lovely location. Ali was great about a late check in, and us getting lost along the way, and couldn't have been more friendly and welcoming!MelissaAugust 2015
Ali is simply an awesome host. I recently moved to Missoula to start a research position at the University and stayed in Ali's place for my first month in town while looking for a long-term apartment. Moving to a new place can be a very difficult and frustrating process, especially when you don't know anyone around, but Ali made this transition rather pleasant. She introduced me many things in town (e.g. restaurants, stores, farmers markets, hiking trails nearby, etc) and even helped me with moving into my new apartment. We also had some walks and dinner together. I enjoyed my stay overall and I think Missoula is very lucky to have Ali. The house is very cozy and clean and the room is as it is shown in the picture. I also like the painting in the house, which provides a sense of warm and welcome atmosphere. Nevertheless, the most welcome part of the house probably came from Ali's dog, Tuck. I brought my cat with me during my stay in Ali's house. My cat is usually very cautious when in a new place and only stayed in my room in the beginning but felt comfortable to hang out in the house with Tuck and Ali around in the end. I could imagine that if we stay longer, my cat and Tuck might become good friends. :)KimberlyOctober 2015
Ali's place is fantastic! It's clean, comfortable, and looks just as advertised (adorable). Ali truly does love meeting new people and is very helpful. I came in off an 8 day camping trip and her place was just what I needed. She let me use her laundry facilities and even offered to share her food. She even asked for feedback on what she could do better or add to make my stay more comfortable. I immediately felt at home at her place and I wish I could stay longer. I even think that I made a new friend. Her dog Tuck is so sweet as well. If you are in Missoula, you won't get a better place/host then this! Thanks for the wonderful stay Ali!SeshaAugust 2015

This was a GREAT find. Marlene was easy to communicate with and made sure I understood a couple of important house rules ahead of time. The house is unique and eclectically decorated. The house is clean and tidy. The bed was very comfortable. The house is located in a quiet residential neighborhood not easily walkable from downtown. For me, the comfort of a nice place to stay outweighed the slight inconvenience of hopping in the car. I strongly, strongly recommend it.JonathanSeptember 2016
Marlene is a warm and genuine person and wonderful guide to Missoula. The accommodations were very comfortable and functional, with the added pleasure of much art and a gorgeous yard to bask in. The neighborhood is close to downtown, but stands on it's own with a few great markets and eateries nearby. I would definitely stay here again. In fact, I hope to!MicheleMay 2016

We had a wonderful time in Mark's home. The property is so close to Missoula, but is the perfect retreat for those looking for some seclusion and space. We had just come from camping in Glacier, and Mark's home was the perfect transition to go back to life in a city. We saw deer in his front yard, were so grateful for the hot tub for our sore muscles, and fell asleep quickly in one of the coziest beds I've been in! Seriously, I think this bed is even better than our bed at home! Mark has a ton of maps, magazines, and information about Missoula and Montana. It was great to spend some time reading the local news and magazines, having access to board games, and seeing the stars in Big Sky County!Jake & GopiJuly 2016
Mark's brother Dan was a very hospitable & kind host when we arrived. He showed us the property, our very nice room, sitting room and the hot tub overlooking Missoula & beautiful mountains!

Overall, a wonderful studio apt. Plenty of room for one or two people. Stylish marble bathroom and comfy king bed. A bit of confusion with where to park due to a missing parking pass. But no big deal since the host figured out a quick solve. No great view from the large windows since they opened up to a rooftop filled with mechanical apparatus.joshSeptember 2015
The perfect spot to begin our Montana getaway!JasonAugust 2016
Our stay at Miranda's condo was great and we absolutely loved the space! The only negative was the parking on Saturday morning with the Farmer's Market going on, although Miranda was quick to help us with the situation via telephone. We enjoyed our stay in Missoula, couldn't have asked for a better location and hope to stay here again.ChristaJune 2015
Awesome spot, felt like a 5 star hotel!EricaJune 2015
Thank you sooooo much! What a great lil place. Super adorable all around. Clean and cozy. Comfy cloud bed. Location, location, location! We went to a concert downstairs, how nice to be able to just head upstairs instead of driving some where.Aly (Alyssa) October 2015
Great studio apartment and great location right downtown. Perfect for 2 people!KristenOctober 2016

Amy was great, she was able to take me on short notice and was flexible. The room itself was great...its very private as its located behind the main house in her dance studio. It was clean and quiet and was just what I was looking for! Thanks for a great stay!MelanieMay 2015
I had such a wonderful experience at Amy's private room/studio, it exceeded my expectations. I didn't get to meet Amy, but had a nice correspondence with her prior to arriving. However…I did meet + play with her sweet, pine-cone-juggling dog, Maggie--loved that, made me feel very much at home. The room was ideal, very private, nice bathroom, books, tv, heavenly cross breeze and good local recommendations. It was great to be close enough to the main part of Missoula and yet far enough away that I could (I didn't for the record) go for runs along the water or take a hike in the park, truly the best of both worlds. Small but handy note, Amy's red house is a perfect land mark. I look forward to coming back to Missoula, so can explore more, eat more and get that run and bike ride in. Thanks AmyKitJune 2015
I wholeheartedly enjoyed my experience. Everywhere I needed to go was in walking distance. Amy did an excellent job of listing places to eat, which I very much appreciated. The energy was wonderful in the studio, I was able to utilize the dance studio in the mornings for my yoga and exercise. The bathtub was glorious especially for someone who enjoys baths. I highly recommend to stay here when you are in town and I would love to stay here again when I come back to Missoula.AndreaJuly 2015
Amy was an excellent host. We didn't get to meet her, but we met her husband and he was quite gracious. The space was even nicer than the pictures looked, and it was an excellent location. Highly recommended.TynelleJuly 2016
Amy's cottage was pleasant and unique. So close to everything. We enjoyed our stroll down Higgins Street and had a wonderful dinner at The Silk Road.DeborahJuly 2016
Amy is such a great host. I love the Cozy room on creek by UM. So conveniently located yet tucked away in a lovely neighborhood with a park for walking just across the streetPattiApril 2016
Amy's little carriage house was absolutely perfect and very accurately described! Very cozy, clean, welcoming and the perfect place to relax. I was thoroughly impressed with the place all in all and would love the opportunity to return for a longer stint sometime in the future. Thanks Amy for making such a cozy space!Jenne May 2016

Appeal from the Circuit Court of Winnebago County; the Hon.
Bradner C. Riggs, Judge, presiding.
Respondent-minor L.F. was charged with committing the offense of residential burglary (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1981, ch. 38, par. 19-3) in a delinquency petition. At the adjudicatory hearing, it was established that Eddie Torrance and a friend arrived at Torrance's Rockford home after work on March 11, 1982, to find that the home had been broken into and that money, jewelry, and whiskey were missing. Torrance also found a hammer in the house which was given to the police and introduced into evidence.
Two Rockford policemen testified regarding their interviews with the minor and statements he gave to them. In both statements the minor admitted that he had watched Torrance leave his house to go to work and then broke into the house and took money, a gun, and some liquor. He also stated in both that the homeowner owed him money. In the second statement, he correctly identified Torrance's place of work, reported his use of a hammer to break in and that he left it behind, stated that he also took jewelry, and described the layout of the house. Although both original statements contained references by the minor to being "on a furlough from Joliet," these were excised when the statements were introduced into evidence. The minor's indication in the second statement that he broke into Torrance's home in 1980 was not removed.
An employee of the Department of Corrections and another Rockford policeman testified regarding the minor's May 21, 1982, escape from custody while on the way to be arraigned on the present charge and his capture the next day. The minor's only evidence was the testimony of the Rockford policemen who responded to the Torrance break-in that Torrance at that time reported that nothing was missing.
The jury found the minor to be delinquent. As the State proved to the court two previous adjudications for felony offenses, the trial court sentenced him to confinement until his 21st birthday, pursuant to the Habitual Juvenile Offender Act (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1981, ch. 37, par. 705-12). He appeals.
• 1 The minor first contends that prejudicial error occurred when the trial court permitted the admission of evidence of other crimes committed by him. The minor specifically points to testimony regarding the fact that he had escaped from the custody of the Department of Corrections while being returned to Rockford for arraignment on the charge involved in this case (see Ill. Rev. Stat. 1981, ch. 38, par. 36-1) and to that portion of the minor's statement of March 15, 1982, in which he related that he had broken into the same house on a previous occasion (see Ill. Rev. Stat. 1981, ch. 38, par. 19-3).
Regarding the testimony of the minor's escape, evidence of escape or attempted escape from custody by an accused is admissible as a fact raising a presumption of guilt of the crime charged, even if the accused is being held on more than one charge. (People v. Yonder (1969), 44 Ill.2d 376, cert. denied sub nom. Guido v. Illinois (1970), 397 U.S. 975, 25 L.Ed.2d 270, 90 S.Ct. 1094; People v. Robinson (1980), 91 Ill. App.3d 1138, 415 N.E.2d 585.) Therefore, there was no error in the admission of the escape testimony.
• 2 Regarding that portion of the minor's statement indicating a prior break-in, the trial court admitted it because it "not only shows his intent, but impeaches his statement in the earlier statement, his remark in the earlier statement to [Officer] Piccirilli that this was an individual who owed him money." Although it is generally true that evidence of crimes other than the one for which the accused is being tried is not admissible, there are exceptions, including evidence of separate offenses which also tend to prove a fact in issue or which go to show motive, intent, identity, absence of mistake or modus operandi. (People v. McDonald (1975), 62 Ill.2d 448, 455.) In fact, it has been broadly held that evidence of other offenses is admissible if relevant for any purpose other than to show propensity to commit a crime. (62 Ill.2d 448, 455.) On this appeal, the State seeks to justify the admission of the statement regarding the prior break-in as relevant to motive and intent.
The evidence in question is a portion of defendant's March 15, 1982, statement to Officer Hoffman. After describing the manner of the break-in at issue, defendant stated the following:
"As soon as you walk in you turn left and there is a closet. Thats [sic] the first place I went because the last time I broke in there, there was [sic] about $800.00 or $900.00 in there. There was [sic] also two pistols in there at that time. It was 1980 when I broke in that time."
• 3 These remarks tend to show that defendant's intent upon breaking in was to obtain money and possibly goods, such as the pistols, just as he had been able to do in the past. The intent to commit a felony or theft is a necessary element of the offense of residential burglary. (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1981, ch. 38, par. 19-3(a).) Therefore, the remarks were relevant to proof of the charged offense. This is especially true here where the minor, in other parts of his statements, averred that he broke into the victim's home to take money that the victim owed to him. In People v. Henderson (1974), 18 Ill. App.3d 457, 309 N.E.2d 242, evidence of a previous burglary by the defendant of the same premises three days earlier than the charged burglary was admissible to prove intent where statements made by the defendant to police had indicated a motive in the break-in to assist a woman who had cried for help. Similarly, the minor's remarks here tend to make an innocent motive less likely and are therefore probative on the issue of the minor's purpose. Furthermore, the challenged remarks also reveal the reason why defendant was aware of the layout of the burglarized premises, another relevant factor. (See People v. McLain (1975), 32 Ill. App.3d 998, 337 N.E.2d 82.) Thus, there was no error in the admission of the minor's reference to the previous break-in.
Defendant cursorily states that "the State ought to have been required to establish the occurrence of the other crime," citing People v. Gugliotta (1980), 81 Ill. App.3d 362, 401 N.E.2d 262. We find that defendant has waived this argument because, although employing a motion in limine, an oral objection and a post-trial motion to challenge the use of his statement regarding the prior burglary, at no point was this particular reasoning brought before the trial court. See People v. Curry (1973), 56 Ill.2d 162.
In any event, no error was committed. People v. Gugliotta (1980), 81 Ill. App.3d 362, 401 N.E.2d 262, stated the rule that evidence of other crimes cannot be admitted even for a proper purpose until it is shown that a crime actually took place and that the defendant committed it or participated in its commission. (81 Ill. App.3d 362, 365, 401 N.E.2d 262, 264.) The other crimes in Gugliotta were fires which the court held were not shown at trial to have been set by the defendant nor even to be of incendiary origin. Although it must be shown that the other crime occurred and that the accused committed it or participated in its commission, proof of the other crime need not be beyond a reasonable doubt. (People v. Walters (1979), 69 Ill. App.3d 906, 387 N.E.2d 1230.) In Walters, the court held there to be sufficient evidence of the occurrence of the other crimes and the defendant's participation in their commission. The only evidence of the other crimes was a police officer's testimony that he had investigated robberies and murders which occurred on certain dates and the statements of the defendant regarding his participation in those crimes. Here, the only evidence of the other crime is the minor's own statement; however, although there is no corroborating evidence such as the testimony of the fact of police investigation as in Walters, the minor's admission of the prior burglary is sufficient evidence of the occurrence of the crime and the minor's participation in it to allow use of the otherwise admissible statement.
• 4 Even if error were found in the admission of evidence of other crimes, the error would be harmless. Where the evidence of the defendant's guilt is overwhelming, an error in the admission of evidence of other crimes committed by the defendant is harmless. (See People v. Carlson (1982), 92 Ill.2d 440; People v. James (1981), 100 Ill. App.3d 884, 427 N.E.2d 248.) Here, the minor provided the police with two statements detailing how he had broken into the victim's home and taken liquor, jewelry, money and a gun. There were also numerous items of corroborating evidence, such as the victim's allegations of property taken, the details of the burglarized premises, and the hammer that the minor indicated he had left behind. In light of the minor's statements and the corroborating evidence, the evidence of the minor's guilt is so overwhelming as to render any error in the admission of evidence of other crimes to be harmless.
• 5 The minor contends that the trial court erred in ruling that the State may impeach him through evidence of prior juvenile adjudications. Although section 5-12 of the Juvenile Court Act (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1981, ch. 37, par. 705-12), commonly referred to as the Habitual Juvenile Offender Act (hereinafter Act), permits that sort of impeachment under certain conditions, the minor contends that the statute is unconstitutional as a legislative encroachment on a judicial function. He argues that the applicable rule is that established in People v. Montgomery (1971), 47 Ill.2d 510, and that the statute is void because it conflicts with that rule.
The challenged part of the Act is that paragraph of subsection (c) of section 5-12 which reads as follows:
"No prior adjudication shall be alleged in the petition, and no evidence or other disclosure of such adjudication shall be presented to the court or jury during any adjudicatory hearing provided for under this section, unless otherwise permitted by the issues properly raised in such hearing. In the event the minor who is the subject of these proceedings elects to testify on his own behalf, it shall be competent to introduce evidence, for purposes of impeachment, that he has previously been adjudicated a delinquent minor upon facts which, had he been tried as an adult, would have resulted in his conviction of a felony. Introduction of such evidence shall be according to the rules and procedures applicable to the impeachment of an adult defendant by prior conviction." Ill. Rev. Stat. 1981, ch. 37, par. 705-12(c).
Thus, in proceedings against the minor prosecuted as a habitual juvenile offender, the minor may be impeached by prior juvenile adjudications subject only to the rules of evidence for impeaching an adult criminal defendant by prior convictions.
People v. Montgomery (1971), 47 Ill.2d 510, is the case which established the judicial rule for impeachment of witnesses through prior convictions. Montgomery endorsed the then-proposed Federal Rule of Evidence 609 (51 F.R.D. 391) as the rule for Illinois. While that rule establishes certain guidelines for the admission of convictions for impeachment purposes, subsection (d) of Rule 609 categorically bars the use of juvenile adjudications when the witness is the accused in a criminal prosecution. Although the issue in Montgomery did not involve subsection (d) of Rule 609, subsequent cases have interpreted Montgomery as endorsing all of that rule (People v. Yost (1980), 78 Ill.2d 292, 296), including subsection (d) (People v. Puente (1981), 98 Ill. App.3d 936, 940, 424 N.E.2d 775, 779).
The central problem involved in the resolution of this issue is whether the rule of Montgomery is to be applied to juvenile court proceedings. The minor argues that Montgomery is to be applied directly to this type of case, resulting in a bar against the use of his prior adjudications for impeachment. Because the statutory provision would permit a different result in a judicial matter, he contends, it is void as unconstitutional. The State argues, on the other hand, that the courts> have never intended to apply Montgomery to juvenile proceedings. The Act legislatively incorporates Montgomery only to the extent that its rule on the use of prior convictions, but not the use of prior juvenile adjudications, in criminal cases is to be applied to the use of prior adjudications in habitual juvenile offender cases.
The Montgomery opinion itself did not limit its rule to criminal cases, stating that "the provisions of this Rule should be followed in future cases." (People v. Montgomery (1971), 47 Ill.2d 510, 519.) In Knowles v. Panopoulos (1977), 66 Ill.2d 585, the supreme court held that Montgomery is applicable to civil cases as well as criminal. However, no case has been found which either applies or refuses to apply the rule of Montgomery to proceedings under the Act. Although "the rules of evidence in the nature of criminal proceedings" are generally applicable in delinquency cases, this is due to such a provision in a different section of the Juvenile Court Act. Ill. Rev. Stat. 1981, ch. 37, par. 704-6(1).
• 6 That evidentiary rules in delinquency cases, subject to constitutional restraints, should be determined by the Juvenile Court Act rather than by general criminal case rules enunciated by the judiciary is in conformity with the logic and purpose of the Juvenile Court Act, which are distinctly different from those of the Criminal Code of 1961. As stated in In re Beasley (1977), 66 Ill.2d 385, cert. denied (1978), 434 U.S. 1016, 54 L.Ed.2d 761, 98 S.Ct. 734:
"Section 2-9 of the Juvenile Court Act (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1975, ch. 37, par. 702-9) clearly indicates that proceedings under the Act are not criminal. Although such a proceeding retains certain adversary characteristics, it is not in the usual sense an adversary proceeding, but it is one to be administered in a spirit of humane concern for and to promote the welfare of the minor as well as to serve the best interests of the community." 66 Ill.2d 385, 389.
In In re Beasley (1977), 66 Ill.2d 385, 389, the supreme court held that its promulgated rule relating to standards for acceptance of guilty pleas (58 Ill.2d R. 402), was intended to apply only to criminal cases and not to juvenile delinquency proceedings. This was despite the fact that the Juvenile Court Act does not contain its own rule relating to acceptance of guilty pleas. In the present case, the Juvenile Court Act has a specific evidentiary rule on the subject at issue.
In People ex rel. Carey v. Chrastka (1980), 83 Ill.2d 67, the supreme court rejected several constitutional challenges to the Act. While none of these challenges was framed precisely the same as that here, the court upheld various provisions of the statute as valid means to serve the purposes of the juvenile court system. The impeachment usage of prior adjudications, the provision at issue here, was upheld despite a contention that it violated the fundamental fairness concept of the due process clause in that it improperly apprised juries of those adjudications and potentially influenced the jury's determination of whether the offense at issue had been committed. In rejecting that argument, the court expressed approval of the provision with the following language:
"We acknowledge that the accused's credibility will be damaged if he chooses to testify and the prosecution introduces evidence of the prior adjudications in impeachment, but this is the purpose of impeachment regardless of the context in which it is done and the consequences that result. It is improper prejudice with which we are concerned, and if the Act is correctly applied, this will not result. The Act is carefully drafted to avoid unfair prejudice * * *. By providing these safeguards, the Act actually goes beyond those required by the United States Supreme Court in Spencer [Spencer v. Texas (1967), 385 U.S. 554, 17 L.Ed.2d 606, 87 S.Ct. 648]." 83 Ill.2d 67, 76-77.
• 7 Since there is no indication that the supreme court intended Montgomery to directly apply to juvenile proceedings, this court will not presume such an intent, especially in light of the presumption of validity of statutes (Gill v. Miller (1982), 94 Ill.2d 52; Scott v. Department of Commerce & Community Affairs (1981), 84 Ill.2d 42), the court's characterization of the subject provision in People ex rel. Carey v. Chrastka (1980), 83 Ill.2d 67, as providing sufficient safeguards so as to avoid improper prejudice, and the different purposes of the Criminal Code of 1961 and the Juvenile Court Act. If People v. Montgomery (1971), 47 Ill.2d 510, does not apply to delinquency proceedings except in the manner provided by the Act, there is no conflict between Montgomery and the Act.
Although the minor does not argue the unconstitutionality of the Act except through its alleged nonconformity to Montgomery, an improper legislative encroachment upon a judicial function is possible even in the absence of conflict with case law. With regard to laws governing judicial practice, the General Assembly does not have the power to enact laws which unduly infringe upon the inherent powers of the judiciary or conflict with a rule of the supreme court. (People v. Youngbey (1980), 82 Ill.2d 556.) None of the promulgated Supreme Court Rules conflicts with the subject statutory provision. With regard to inherent judicial powers relating to evidentiary matters, it has been held that the legislature may not declare the weight to be given to evidence or what evidence shall be conclusive proof of an issue of fact. (Alton R.R. Co. v. Illinois Commerce Com. (1943), 382 Ill. 478; People v. Buford (1982), 110 Ill. App.3d 46, 441 N.E.2d 1235.) The subject provision attempts to do neither. Thus, even aside from the rule of Montgomery, we fail to see how the challenged statute encroaches upon an exclusively judicial function.
An alternative argument suggested by the State is that, even if the rule of Montgomery were intended to apply to juvenile proceedings, a literal reading of proposed Rule 609(d) would still allow the impeachment use of the minor's prior adjudications. This is because the rule expresses a categorical bar on such evidence only if the witness is the "accused" in a criminal case. (See Advisory Committee's Note to Subdivisions (d) of Rule 609 in Appendix 6 of Am.Jur.2d, New Topic Service: Federal Rules of Evidence, at 501.) Although Rule 609 as finally adopted by Congress would permit some discretion in admitting prior adjudications for impeaching witnesses other than the accused only in criminal cases (i.e., the categorical bar applies for all witnesses in non-criminal cases) (Fed. R. of Evid. 609(d)), it is the 1971 draft version, proposed by the Supreme Court, which was endorsed by the Illinois Supreme Court in Montgomery and which continues to be the rule in Illinois. (People v. Yost (1980), 78 Ill.2d 292, 295-96.) Since a minor prosecuted under the Act is not an "accused" in a criminal case, the alternative argument goes, the impeachment usage of prior adjudications is permissible under proposed Rule 609 (d) "if conviction of the offense would be admissible to attack the credibility of an adult and the judge is satisfied that admission in evidence is necessary for a fair determination of the issue of guilt or innocence."
The problem with the adoption of this approach is that if the supreme court had intended that proposed Rule 609 apply in delinquency cases notwithstanding contrary statutory provisions, its purpose would most probably be to grant minors prosecuted for delinquency the same protections given to adults "accused" of criminal offenses. Furthermore, while this approach does permit some discretion in the admission of prior adjudications, it does so under a much stricter standard than that used to admit evidence of prior convictions. It is the more liberal standard that is employed by subsection (c) of the statute; the parties have not addressed whether admission of the prior adjudications would have been proper under the stricter standard found in proposed Rule 609(d).
• 8, 9 The minor also contends that, if the statute does not improperly impinge upon the judicial power, it is unconstitutional under the equal protection clause (U.S. Const., amend. XIV, sec. 1; Ill. Const. 1970, art. 1, sec. 2). The basis of this equal protection argument is that the statute would permit the impeachment usage of prior adjudications against a minor prosecuted as a habitual juvenile offender while such usage against a minor prosecuted as an adult is prohibited. Because under certain conditions a minor may be prosecuted as an adult (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1981, ch. 37, par. 702-7), this same argument could just as well be made against any of the various provisions of the Juvenile Court Act which provide for different procedures and dispositions than are possible in criminal prosecutions. However, the fact that a minor may be treated as an adult in some cases and not in others, pursuant to the standards set out in section 2-7 of the Juvenile Court Act (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1981, ch. 37, par. 702-7), does not deny him equal protection under the law. (People v. Sprinkle (1972), 4 Ill. App.3d 6, 280 N.E.2d 29, aff'd (1974), 56 Ill.2d 257, cert. denied (1974), 417 U.S. 935, 41 L.Ed.2d 239, 94 S.Ct. 2650.) In People ex rel. Carey v. Chrastka (1980), 83 Ill.2d 67, 80, the supreme court held that it was not a violation of equal protection rights for the Act to permit a potentially longer period of confinement than was possible for a habitual offender prosecuted under adult criminal laws. Likewise, it was not an equal protection violation for the Juvenile Court Act not to provide for jury trials in delinquency prosecutions. (In re Presley (1970), 47 Ill.2d 50.) Thus, a minor prosecuted as an adult, who is not subject to the impeachment use of prior adjudications, must meet the guidelines of section 2-7 and is subject to very different dispositions than is a minor prosecuted as a habitual juvenile offender, who may be so impeached. We find no equal protection violation.
Finally with regard to the minor's second allegation of error, he does not demonstrate any prejudice resulting from the alleged error. Evidence of the prior adjudication was not introduced because the minor chose not to testify, purportedly for fear of the prejudice resulting from the impeachment. As already noted, evidence of the minor's guilt was overwhelming. The minor did not, either at trial or on appeal, suggest any testimony which he might have given that would have created a reasonable doubt as to his guilt. Where a defendant is improperly impeached on cross-examination through evidence of a prior conviction, reversal is not required unless the error has deprived the defendant of substantial justice or influenced his determination of guilt. (People v. Madison (1974), 56 Ill.2d 476; People v. Adams (1982), 106 Ill. App.3d 467, 435 N.E.2d 1203.) In Madison, as in the present case, the defendant's inculpatory statement and substantial circumstantial evidence clearly established his guilt. (56 Ill.2d 476, 489.) There could be no greater prejudice here where the minor voluntarily declined to testify in order to prevent the State's use of the evidence of prior adjudications which could not have influenced the determination of guilt.
• 10 The minor's final contention is that the trial court erred in refusing to hear his motion to suppress a statement that he had made to Officer Mary Denton relating to his escape on May 21, 1982. Although the trial court had originally granted the minor's motion to exclude evidence of the escape, it later reversed its ruling on the State's motion to reconsider. The minor moved to suppress evidence of the statement made to Officer Denton, alleging inter alia that the statement was involuntary. The State indicated that it would not use that statement in its direct case, but reserved the right to use it at a later time. The trial court refused to hear the issue at that time, indicating that it would address it when it had to, but that it would not take the time for a hearing on an issue which might be mooted. The minor then moved in limine to prevent use of the statement for impeachment purposes and the court denied the motion. At the adjudicatory hearing, the minor did not testify, and evidence of the statement made to Officer Denton was never introduced.
The question to be resolved is whether the trial court was obligated to hear the motion prior to trial. The minor argues that such a hearing was necessary so that his constitutional rights would not be violated and so that he might be able to prepare his defense. However, while a defendant has a constitutional right at some stage of the proceedings against him to object to the use of his confession and to have a fair hearing and a reliable determination upon the issue of voluntariness (Jackson v. Denno (1964), 378 U.S. 368, 12 L.Ed.2d 908, 84 S.Ct. 1774; People v. Bell (1977), 50 Ill. App.3d 82, 365 N.E.2d 203), the minor was not denied that hearing "at some stage." Rather, he was only denied a hearing prior to the presentation of his case. The fact that no hearing was held was due to his choice not to testify, rendering moot the issue of admissibility of impeachment evidence.
As to the minor's ability to prepare his defense, we can find no basis for requiring the hearing on the impeachment use of his allegedly involuntary statement before he testified. The statute the minor cites, section 114-11 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1981, ch. 38, par. 114-11), prescribes the procedure for a motion to suppress evidence of a confession on the ground that it was not voluntary. Although section 114-11(c) requires the trial court to conduct a hearing if the motion is sufficient, no particular time for the hearing is mandated.
Cases have held that a trial court may properly refrain from making a ruling on the admissibility of a defendant's prior convictions for impeachment purposes until after the defendant has testified, even though the withholding of a ruling makes defense strategy more difficult. (People v. Rose (1979), 75 Ill. App.3d 45, 52, 393 N.E.2d 698, 703-04; People v. Hunter (1978), 61 Ill. App.3d 588, 598, 376 N.E.2d 1065, 1072; People v. Barksdale (1974), 24 Ill. App.3d 489, 496, 321 N.E.2d 489, 494-95.) However, Rose, Hunter, and Barksdale might be distinguished from the present case in that those cases involved prior convictions instead of allegedly involuntary statements as the impeachment evidence at issue. Balancing probativeness against unfair prejudicial effect is a factor in determining the impeachment admissibility of prior convictions. (See People v. Montgomery (1971), 47 Ill.2d 510.) Rose, Hunter, and Barksdale reasoned that a trial court might better be able to ascertain the probativeness and prejudicial effect of the challenged evidence after it has heard the defendant's testimony. That same reasoning is not applicable with regard to a hearing solely on voluntariness of an out-of-court statement, where the factors for that determination (see, e.g., Brown v. Illinois (1975), 422 U.S. 590, 603-04, 45 L.Ed.2d 416, 427, 95 S.Ct. 2254, 2261-62; People v. Washington (1980), 90 Ill. App.3d 631, 634, 413 N.E.2d 170, 172, cert. denied (1981), 454 U.S. 846, 70 L.Ed.2d 132, 102 S.Ct. 162) may easily be ascertained without first hearing the defendant's trial testimony.
In any event, the minor has not shown any prejudice resulting from the trial court's refusal to hear its motion prior to his testifying. As noted in each of the prior two issues, the evidence of the minor's guilt was overwhelming. The challenged statement was not introduced. If the requested hearing had been held before trial, and the statement suppressed, the minor does not suggest what unimpeached testimony he might have provided. Moreover, the introduction of the statement by the minor relating to his escape would have been harmless in that two State's witnesses had already testified about the escape. See People v. Garcia (1981), 95 Ill. App.3d 792, 800-01, 420 N.E.2d 482, 489.
The judgment of the circuit court of Winnebago County is affirmed.

"There's a slight sense of its coming to an end. You know, this is the last chance; this is where I make my history," Cabot says. A president going through his second inauguration knows that he will never run for office again — that the next four years will cement his legacy. And, Cabot says, for whatever reason, second inaugurations often take place under a cloud. That was true of Reagan in 1985.

NORMAN CADMUS, PETITIONER,v.WARDEN SCI COAL TOWNSHIP, ET AL., RESPONDENTS.
Hon. Martin C. Carlson
This matter is before the Court on the Report and Recommendation ("R&R") of Magistrate Judge Martin C. Carlson (Doc. 30), filed on June 28, 2010, which recommends that we: (1) deny Petitioner Norman Cadmus' ("Petitioner" or "Cadmus") petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 on the merits and on statute of limitations grounds with respect to his mental competence claims; (2) dismiss, without prejudice, Petitioner's claims regarding the alleged coercion of his guilty plea and ineffective assistance of counsel; and (3) not issue a certificate of appealability.
Petitioner filed objections to the R&R on July 13, 2010. (Docs. 31 and 32). Respondents have not filed objections to the R&R and the time to do so has lapsed. Accordingly, this matter is ripe for our review. For the reasons that follow, we shall overrule the Petitioner's objections and adopt the R&R in its entirety.
When objections are filed to the report of a magistrate judge, the district court makes a de novo determination of those portions of the report or specified proposed findings or recommendations to which objections are made. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); United States v. Raddatz, 447 U.S. 667, 674-75 (1980). The court may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the magistrate judge's findings or recommendations. Id. Although the standard of review is de novo, 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) permits whatever reliance the district court, in the exercise of sound discretion, chooses to place on a magistrate judge's proposed findings and recommendations. Raddatz, 447 U.S. at 674-75; see also Mathews v. Weber, 423 U.S. 261, 275 (1976); Goney v. Clark, 749 F.2d 5, 7 (3d Cir. 1984).
The facts and procedural history of this case are well known to the parties and the Court, thus we shall only briefly summarize them herein.*fn1 On March 20, 2002, in the Court of Common Pleas of Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, Cadmus entered an Alford*fn2 plea on two counts of second degree murder, two counts of robbery and one count each of arson, burglary, and conspiracy. All of these charges arose out of the brutal homicide of Kevin Beam and Linda Arnold that occurred in Lower Paxton Township in March of 1996. Police determined that, following the double murder, a fire had been set to the residence, in an apparent effort to mask the homicides. During the course of a five year investigation into the killings, Cadmus confessed to involvement in the murders. Cadmus, who was essentially an accomplice to another man, William Stephens, ultimately entered the Alford pleas to the charges referenced above and was spared capital punishment. He ultimately received two life sentences plus four to twenty years on the convictions.
Cadmus took no direct appeal of his convictions and sentences. On February 28, 2003, Cadmus filed a petition for relief under Pennsylvania's Post-Conviction Relief Act, (PCRA), 42 Pa. C. S.A. § 9541 et seq. On November 30, 2005, the Court of Common Pleas of Dauphin County conducted a hearing on Cadmus' PCRA petition and ultimately denied his petition. On December 12, 2005, Cadmus timely appealed to the superior Court of Pennsylvania and the Superior Court affirmed the denial on November 28, 2006. On May 10, 2007, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court denied Cadmus' petition for allocator.
On March 13, 2008, Cadmus filed the instant pro se habeas petition pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 2254. Magistrate Judge Malachy E. Mannion denied Cadmus' motion for appointment of counsel. On September 1, 2009, this case was reassigned to Magistrate Judge Carlson. On September 4, 2009, the Office of the Federal Public Defender was appointed to represent Petitioner and was ordered to file a traverse limited to the issue of the statute of limitations. Thereafter, on November 23, 2009, Magistrate Judge Carlson ordered a full briefing schedule on the petition, and after the petition was fully briefed, issued the instant R&R recommending the petition be denied in part and dismissed in part.
The recommendations made by Magistrate Judge Carlson in the R&R can be divided into two parts. First, Magistrate Judge recommends that Petitioner's mental competence claims be dismissed on the merits. Magistrate Judge Carlson also recommends that Cadmus' petition should be denied because his claims are procedurally barred and unexhausted. Second, Magistrate Judge Carlson recommends that Cadmus' claims that his guilty plea was coerced and that his state trial counsel was ineffective and incompetent be dismissed because they have not been exhausted by Cadmus in the state court system.
The Petitioner's objections to the R&R essentially voice his disagreement with the Magistrate Judge's conclusion that Cadmus has not shown by clear and convincing evidence that he was mentally incompetent at the time he entered his plea of guilty. Although Cadmus invites this Court to reject the Magistrate Judge's recommendation on this point, we find absolutely no reason to part company with Magistrate Judge Carlson's thorough review of Petitioner's mental competency claim.*fn3
Magistrate Judge Carlson correctly recognizes that we are not free to substitute our own views for the findings of the state judges on issues of competence to stand trial; Maggio v. Fulford, 462 U.S. 111, 117 (1983); competence to waive rights; Demosthenes v. Baal, 495 U.S. 731, 734-35 (1990); or whether the defendant's mental competence affected his ability to comply with post-conviction filing deadlines. Nara v. Frank, 488 F.3d 187, 200-01 (3d Cir. 2007). These factual findings made by state court judges are presumed to be correct unless a federal petitioner can show by clear and convincing evidence that these factual findings were erroneous. See 28 U.S.C. § 2254(e)(1). Thus, after giving the state court judge's rulings on Cadmus' competence the deference to which they are entitled, Magistrate Judge Carlson finds, and we agree, that he has not overcome his evidentiary burden to assert his lack of competence as a grounds for either equitable tolling of the statute of limitations, or as an independent substantive ground for habeas relief.*fn4
In particular, a review of the March 22, 2004 guilty plea colloquy confirms that Cadmus was competent and fully understood the nature of the proceedings.*fn5
Further, the PCRA hearing testimony given by Enos Martin, the Dauphin County Prison psychiatrist who treated Cadmus from January 2002 to March 2002 illustrates that Cadmus was competent to enter a guilty plea in March 2002. Martin testified:
I felt I was dealing with someone who was intact in terms of their orientation. He was not being distracted by hallucinations internally.
I saw no indication that he could not cooperate with his defense at that time. (Doc. 26, Ex. F., p. 44). Finally, the record of the state court proceedings in this matter reveals that Cadmus was an effective, timely, and articulate advocate on his own behalf from 2002 to 2005, filing cogent and coherent PCRA petitions. Based on all of the foregoing, we wholly agree with Magistrate Judge Carlson's conclusion that Cadmus has not shown, by clear and convincing evidence, that the state court factual findings about his mental competence were erroneous.
As noted above, 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) permits whatever reliance the district court, in the exercise of sound discretion, chooses to place on a magistrate judge's proposed findings and recommendations. Our review of Magistrate Judge Carlson's R&R reveals a careful, well-reasoned and exhaustive analysis of the claims contained in the petition. We find absolutely no reason to disturb the Magistrate Judge's recommendation and shall adopt the same.*fn6
Accordingly, for the reasons set forth above, the Petitioner's objections are overruled and the R&R shall be adopted in its entirety. An appropriate Order shall issue.

It's called "the free, global market." A conservative cartoonist should be able to understand that no amount of new finds of fossil fuels will overcome Asia's increasing thirst. And Mr. Ima — that comment is just idiotic. Not only has Obama never been a socialist, a socialist would not want gasoline companies setting their own prices (which is the problem illustrated in the cartoon). We know you hate the president. But if you can't put together a coherent argument, at least consider shutting up?
Oil companies are like unelected governments who can raise taxes as they wish, when they wish and without having to shoulder any responsibility for the damage they create.
Their constituents are people who refuse to give up their cars. Their millionaires are people who drive big guzzlers.
I wonder if Rube Goldberg was one of Gary's heroes.
Why bother with his wallet, if you already have his credit card?
Need his library card? Old movie stubs? Pictures of his kids?
"free global market" my eye!
Obama's regime has been 4 years promising 4 more years of doing everything possible by government to prevent private industry producing the domestic in-the-ground oil and natural gas for use by Americans.
Obama's treasury is prnting dollars out their wazoo which decreases the value of our wages and incomes and pension plans….causing the rising prices of our basic needs….
"free global market" means government keeps its handcuffs off producers and sellers.
p.s. this may also be Obama's Crime and Punishment scheme….you refuse to drive electric vehicles, you suffer the government's forced consequences.
Inflation helps reduce the real government debt.
It also almost put me in bankruptcy under Carter.
Still cheaper than it was in 2008.
BUT Arod, perhaps finding and exploiting the fossil fuels we have would level the debt we have to Asia by putting more of our oil into the export market.
Just a thought
You said that "we" are " people who refuse to give up their cars"
So then, are you suggesting that we as a people all return to Urban life? Living close to where we work and play to be able to walk or ride a bike to all of our mundane destinations and using MASS TRANSIT for all other travel?
So how are you going to fund the reconstruction of Urban areas? How will you fund the construction of mass transit? and, finally, with what will you replace the auto with in the GDP? Here is an interesting report>
www.oesa.org/ Doc-Vault/ Industry-Information-Analysis/ CAR-Economic-Significance-Report.pdf
It says that more than 1.7 million direct jobs contribute to over 8 million private sector jobs, over 500 billion in personal compensation and over 70 billion a year in tax revenue.
Yeah, let's do away with our cars.
Okay, I'm not seeing this one at all. What in Ima's comment called for this?
1opinion Question…why is production high?
IMO, whatever the production rate is now is what private industry has done IN SPITE OF OBAMA'S GOVERNMENT HINDRANCES.
OPEC nations manipulate their production to try to maintain the prices they want.
Our extended recession is the reason domestic demand is down.
I love the fact that none of our "right-wing blame Obama" folks have any knowledge of what makes the fossil fuel industry "run", but will cite Rush at every opportunity. Obama has OPENED exploration on federal lands, NOT "closed" entry, and leases are at a all time high level. That oil companies, as usual, haven't done anything to work those leases, has long been typical, and their way to blame "government interference with their ripping off the taxpaying public who OWN that resource being given away at two cents on the the dollar of value.
Gas prices are set by CEOs who are sitting at their desks, planning what yacht to buy next, or maybe their next "trophy wife".
Over 50 years ago, when gas was 24 cents a gallon, a friend who owned an oil company, wells, refinery, and stations, stated the still existent fact: "Owning an oil company is a license to print money."
"Changing to summer formula", "closed for maintenance", well head prices of crude, shipping costs, you name it, anything the companies say is the reason for price rises is B.S., the only "driver" is increased profit. (And while Cheney and Bush made it more "comfy" for the oil companies with deregulation, increasing their profits considerably, even "W" didn't set pump prices, but his "buddies" did!)
I really enjoyed this one.

A 53-year-old man from Ludington was just sentenced to one year in jail for the incident that occurred in 2014...
A Mason County Circuit Court judge has ruled prosecutors can pursue open murder charges against Sean Phillips, WZZM-13 reported.
Phillips is the 25-year-old father of Katherine "Baby Kate" Phillips, a 4½-month-old who went missing from the Ludington area in June 2011.
In September, District Judge Peter J. Wadel dismissed murder charges against Phillips, saying prosecutors did not prove Baby Kate had been killed.
We can all agree on the importance of our Great Lakes and the need to take care of them, but sometimes the environment and business clash. New, cleaner technology can be expensive to implement and can be a strain on business. Exactly where to draw the line between business and environment is a continually evolving question.
Baby Kate Phillips of Ludington has been missing for a week and her father, Sean, is the prime suspect for her disappearance.
Saturday, authorities found the clothing the four-month old was last seen wearing at Sean's house. He is not cooperating with police.
