RESPONDENT
ORDER

The Court has received proposed findings and recommendations from United States
Magistrate Judge Jerome T. Kearney. 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 approves
and adopts the findings and recommendations in their entirety. Judgment will be entered
accordingly.
The Court will not issue a certificate of appealability because Petitioner has not made a
substantial showing of a denial of a constitutional right. 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(1)-(2). Because the
Court will not issue a certificate of appealability, it certifies that an appeal in forma pauperis would
not be taken in good faith. Fed. R. App. P. 24(a)(3)(A).
IT IS SO ORDERED this 7th day of January, 2022.
