CIVIL ACTION NO. 12-2599-P

VERSUS

JUDGE S. MAURICE HICKS, JR.

WARDEN, LOUISIANA STATE
PENITENTIARY

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 Petitioner’s Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus under 28 U.S.C.
§ 2254 [Doc. #1] is hereby 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 this 31st day of May, 2013, in Shreveport, Louisiana.
