RESPONDENT
ORDER

The proposed findings and recommended disposition submitted by United States
Magistrate Judge Joe J. Volpe have been reviewed. No objections were filed. After carefully
considering this document and making a de novo review of the record, it is concluded that
the proposed findings and recommended disposition should be, and hereby are, approved and
adopted in their entirety in all respects.
Additionally, it is hereby found that petitioner has not shown a denial of a
constitutional right, that the issues should have been resolved differently, or that the issues
merit further proceedings. Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 484 (2000). Accordingly, no
certificate of appealability will issue.
It is therefore ordered that the petition [Doc. No. 2] is dismissed with prejudice and
the requested relief is denied. A certificate of appealability is denied.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 22nd day of June 2012.
