entertain the merits of his claim. The undersigned agrees with the Magistrate Judge's
determination that Williams, among other applicable case law, forecloses Christopher's
contentions.
Christopher's Objections are overruled.

Recommendation is adopted as the opinion of the Court. Respondent's Motion to
Dismiss is GRANTED. Christopher's petition for writ of habeas corpus, filed pursuant to
