MEMORANDUM OPINION
This is an action on a petition for a writ of habeas corpus filed pursuant to 28
U.S.C. §§ 2241 and 2254 by Aaron D. Causey, an Alabama state prisoner acting pro
se. (Doc. 1). On June 10, 2015, the Magistrate Judge assigned this case entered a
report pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and FED. R. CIV. P. 72(b)(1) recommending
that the action be denied and dismissed. (Doc. 15). No objections have been filed.
Having carefully reviewed and considered de novo all the materials in the court
file, including the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation, the court is of the
opinion that the Magistrate Judge’s findings are due to be and are hereby ADOPTED
and his recommendation is ACCEPTED. As a result, the petition for writ of habeas
corpus is due to be denied and this action is due to be dismissed with prejudice.
Further, because the petition does not present issues that are debatable among jurists

of reason, a certificate of appealability is also due to be denied. See 28 U.S.C. §
2253(c); Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 484-85 (2000); Rule 11(a), RULES
GOVERNING § 2254 PROCEEDINGS. A separate final judgment will be entered.
DONE and ORDERED this

3rd

day of August, 2015.
