Filing 19

ORDER granting 10 Motion to Dismiss Complaint; adopting 18 Report and Recommendations; denying certificate of appealability. Ordered by U.S. District Judge HUGH LAWSON on 8/22/2014. (nbp)

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE MIDDLE DISTRICT OF GEORGIA
VALDOSTA DIVISION

DEAN ANTHONY BLANTON,
Petitioner,

7:13-CV-165 (HL)

v.

28 U.S.C. § 2241

SHERIFF CHRIS PRINE,
Respondent.

ORDER
Before the Court is the Recommendation of the United States Magistrate
Judge (Doc. 18) that Petitioner’s habeas petition under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 be
dismissed. Petitioner, a pretrial detainee, has not filed an objection to the
Recommendation. The Court has reviewed the Recommendation for clear error
and, finding none, accepts and adopts it in full.
The Court finds that Petitioner has failed to make a substantial showing
that he has been denied a constitutional right, and a certificate of appealability is
therefore denied. 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2); Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 48384, 120 S.Ct. 1595, 146 L.Ed.2d 542 (2000).
SO ORDERED, this 22nd day of August, 2014.
