ORDER DENYING PETITIONER’S AMENDED
PETITION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
Before the court is the magistrate judge's report and recommendation (ECF
No. 24) docketed September 5, 2019. The magistrate judge recommends that
Petitioner’s amended petition for writ of habeas corpus be DENIED. Petitioner has
filed objections (ECF No. 25) to the magistrate judge’s report and
recommendation, and those objections have been carefully reviewed by the
undersigned.
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

hereby ADOPTED and incorporated by reference into this order.

DENIED.
3. The clerk shall enter judgment stating: "Petitioner's amended petition for
writ of habeas corpus is DENIED."
