SEC’Y, DEP’T OF CORR.,
Respondent.

ORDER DENYING PETITIONER’S
PETITION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
Before the court is the magistrate judge's report and recommendation (ECF
No. 20) docketed February 11, 2019. The magistrate judge recommends that
Petitioner’s petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 be
DENIED. Petitioner has filed objections (ECF No. 21) to the magistrate judge’s
report and recommendation.
Upon review of the record in light of Petitioner’s objections, the court has
determined that the magistrate judge's report and recommendation should be
adopted. Like the magistrate judge, the undersigned finds that Petitioner has failed
