ORDER
The Court has carefully reviewed the Recommended Disposition filed by Magistrate
Judge Beth Deere. The parties have not filed objections. The Court concludes that the
Recommendation should be, and hereby is, approved and adopted as this Court’s findings in all
respects.
When entering a final order adverse to a habeas corpus petitioner, the Court must issue or
deny a certificate of appealability. Rule 11 of the Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases. A
certificate of appealability may issue only if a petitioner has made a substantial showing of the
denial of a constitutional right. 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(1)-(2). In this case, there is no basis for this
court to issue a certificate of appealability. Accordingly, a certificate of appealability is denied.
Petitioner Juwann Hayes’s petition for writ of habeas corpus (#2) is DENIED and
DISMISSED, without prejudice.
IT IS SO ORDERED, this 14th day of February, 2017.

/s/ Billy Roy Wilson
UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
