The proposed findings and recommended disposition submitted by United

filed. After careful consideration, it is concluded that the proposed findings and
recommended disposition should be, and hereby are, approved and adopted in their
entirety.
The petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 [Doc. No.
2] filed by Cardell Christopher is dismissed with prejudice. In § 2254 cases, a
certificate of appealability may issue only if the petitioner has made a substantial
showing of the denial of a constitutional right. 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(1)-(2). As there
is no issue on which Christopher has made a substantial showing of a denial of a
constitutional right, a certificate of appealability is denied.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 29th day of December 2014.
