LAWRENCE E. BURTON

CIVIL ACTION

VERSUS

NO. 15-1678

KEITH COOLEY, WARDEN

SECTION “S” (4)
ORDER

The Court, having considered the petition, the record, the applicable law, the Report and
Recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge, and the petitioner's objection to the
Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation, hereby approves the Report and Recommendation
of the United States Magistrate Judge and adopts it as its opinion in this matter. The petitioner's
objection raised the same arguments made in support of the petition, indeed the two documents are
nearly identical. These arguments were considered by the United States Magistrate Judge, and
appropriately addressed in the Report and Recommendation. Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that the petition of Lawrence Burton for issuance of a writ of habeas
corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254, is hereby DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.
