UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
WESTERN DISTRICT OF LOUISIANA
LAKE CHARLES DIVISION

KENNITH W. MONTGOMERY

CIVIL ACTION NO. 18-0067

VERSUS

UNASSIGNED DISTRICT JUDGE

JERRY GOODWIN

MAGISTRATE JUDGE KAY
JUDGMENT

For the reasons stated in the Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge
previously filed herein and after an independent review of the record, a de novo
determination of the issues, and consideration of the objections filed herein, and having
determined that the findings are correct under applicable law;
IT IS ORDERED that the petition for writ of habeas corpus be DENIED and
DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.
Rule 11 of the Rules Governing Section 2254 Proceedings for the U.S. District
Courts requires the district court to issue or deny a certificate of appealability when it
enters a final order adverse to the applicant. The Court, after considering the record in
this case and the standard set forth in 28 U.S.C. Section 2253, DENIES a certificate of
appealability because the applicant has not made a substantial showing of the denial of
a constitutional right.
THUS DONE AND SIGNED in Shreveport, Louisiana, this 24th day of August,
2018.
