MEMORANDUM OPINION
On January 24, 2017, the magistrate judge entered a Report and Recommendation, (doc. 14),
recommending that the court dismiss this petition for writ of habeas corpus. No party has file any
objections.
After considering the entire file in this case de novo, including the report and
recommendation, the court ADOPTS the magistrate judge’s report and ACCEPTS his
recommendation. The court finds that the petition for writ of habeas corpus is due to be
DISMISSED.
This court may issue a certificate of appealability “only if the applicant has a made a
substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right.” 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2). To make such
a showing, a “petitioner must demonstrate that reasonable jurists would find the district court’s
assessment of the constitutional claims debatable or wrong,” Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 484
(2000), or that “the issues presented were adequate to deserve encouragement to proceed further,”
Miller-El v. Cockrell, 537 U.S. 322, 336 (2003) (internal quotations omitted). This court finds
Petitioner’s claims do not satisfy either standard.

The court will enter a separate Final Order of Dismissal.
DONE and ORDERED this7th day of March, 2017.
