ORDER
The Court has reviewed the Recommended Disposition filed by Magistrate Judge Beth Deere.
The parties have not filed any objections to the recommendation.
This Court adopts the
recommendation as its own. The Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus is dismissed, with prejudice.
Document #2.
When entering a final order adverse to a habeas corpus petitioner, the Court must issue or
deny a certificate of appealability. Rule 11, 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. ยง 2253(c)(1)-(2). In this case, Mr. Jones has not provided a basis for
this Court to issue a certificate of appealability. Accordingly, a certificate of appealability is denied.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 20th day of April, 2012.
