Petitioner,
CASE NO. CV411-107
YOLLANDA RAWL,
Respondent.

ORDER
Before the Court is the Magistrate Judge's Report and
Recommendation (Doc. 24), to which objections have been filed
(Doc. 27) After a careful de novo review of the record, the
Court concludes that Petitioner's objections are without merit.
Accordingly, the report and recommendation is ADOPTED as the
Court's opinion in this case and Petitioner's 28 U.S.C. § 2254
Petition is DENIED. As noted in the report and recommendation,
the Court declines to grant Petitioner a Certificate of
Appealability, rendering moot any request for leave to appeal in
forma pauperis.

The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to close this

case.
50 ORDERED this

day of April 2012.
