MAGISTRATE JUDGE HAYES
JUDGMENT

For the reasons stated in the Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge
previously filed herein, and after an independent review of the record including the
objections (Record Document 9) filed by petitioner, and having determined that the findings
and recommendation are correct under the applicable law;
IT IS ORDERED that this petition for writ of habeas corpus (28 U.S.C.§ 2254) be
DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE on the merits pursuant to Rule 4 of the Rules Governing
Section 2254 Cases in the District Courts.
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 chambers, in Shreveport, Louisiana, on this 4th day
of August, 2015.
