JUDGE HICKS

PRESLEY J. BORDELON

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 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 a certificate of appealability 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
day of

March
