ORDER
The Court has received the 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 concludes that the
findings and recommendations should be, and are hereby, approved and adopted in their entirety as
this Court’s findings in all respects.
Accordingly, judgment shall be entered dismissing this petition for writ of habeas corpus
with prejudice.
The Court will not issue a certificate of appealability because Petitioner has not made a
substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right. 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(1)-(2).
IT IS SO ORDERED this 31st day of May, 2013.
