RESPONDENT

ORDER
The proposed findings and recommended disposition submitted by United States
Magistrate Judge J. Thomas Ray have been reviewed, along with the filed objections. After careful
consideration and a de novo review of the record in this case, the Court concludes that the proposed
findings and recommended disposition should be, and hereby are, approved and adopted in their
entirety as this Court’s findings in all respects.
The petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 [Doc. No. 1] filed by
Latarris Robinson 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 Robinson has made a substantial
showing of a denial of a constitutional right, a certificate of appealability is denied.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 8th day of August, 2017.
