The Court has received Proposed Findings and Recommendations from Magistrate Judge
Joe J. Volpe (Dkt. No. 11). Though petitioner Akin Williams filed a motion for extension of
time to file an objection to the proposed Findings and Recommendations (Dkt. No. 12), which
the Court granted (Dkt. No. 13), Mr. Williams filed no objections. After careful review, the
Court approves and adopts in their entirety the Proposed Findings and Recommendations as this

2253(c)(1)-(2). The Court finds no issue on which petitioner has made a substantial showing of
the denial of a constitutional right. Thus, the certificate of appealability is denied.
IT IS SO ORDERED this14th day of May, 2015.
