WILLIE CARL JONES

CIVIL ACTION NO. 14-2734

VERSUS

JUDGE S. MAURICE HICKS, JR.

N. BURL CAIN, ET AL.

MAGISTRATE JUDGE HORNSBY

JUDGMENT
For the reasons assigned in the Report and Recommendation (Record Document
71) of the Magistrate Judge previously filed herein, and having thoroughly reviewed the
record, including the written objections filed (Record Documents 74 and 78), and
concurring with the findings of the Magistrate Judge under the applicable law;
IT IS ORDERED that the 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 in Shreveport, Louisiana, this the 26th day of
September, 2017.
