CIVIL ACTION NO. 12-2997
VERSUS
JUDGE S. MAURICE HICKS, JR.
N. BURL CAIN
MAGISTRATE JUDGE HORNSBY
JUDGMENT
For the reasons assigned in the Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate
Judge previously filed herein, and having thoroughly reviewed the record, including the
written objections (Record Document 36) filed, and concurring with the findings of the
Magistrate Judge under the applicable law;
IT IS ORDERED that Petitioner’s petition for writ of habeas corpus is DENIED.
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 the Petitioner’s Application
for Certificate of Appealability (Record Document 37) because the applicant has not made
a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right.
THUS DONE AND SIGNED at Shreveport, Louisiana, this the 10th day of February,
2016.
