UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
WESTERN DISTRICT OF LOUISIANA
SHREVEPORT DIVISION
KENNETH STEELMAN
CIVIL ACTION NO. 15-0239
VERSUS
JUDGE S. MAURICE HICKS, JR.
BURL CAIN
MAGISTRATE JUDGE HORNSBY
JUDGMENT
For the reasons assigned in the Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate
Judge previously filed herein (Record Document 16), and having thoroughly reviewed the
record, including the written objections filed (Record Document 21), 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 29th day of March,
2018.
