UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
WESTERN DISTRICT OF LOUISIANA
MONROE DIVISION
ROGER DALE DAVIS, JR.

CIVIL ACTION NO. 16-0358

VERSUS

JUDGE S. MAURICE HICKS, JR.

WARDEN KEITH DEVILLE

MAGISTRATE JUDGE HAYES
JUDGMENT

The Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge having been
considered, together with the written objections thereto filed with this Court, and, after a
de novo review of the record, finding that the Magistrate Judge’s Report and
Recommendation is correct and that judgment as recommended therein is warranted,
IT IS ORDERED that Roger Dale Davis, Jr.’s Petition (Record Document 1) is
hereby 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. Jurists of reason would not find it debatable whether the petition states a
valid claim of the denial of a constitutional right and whether this court was correct in its
procedural ruling. See Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 484,120 S.Ct. 1595, 1604 (2000).
THUS DONE AND SIGNED in Shreveport, Louisiana, on this the 30th day of
November, 2017.
