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 [Record Doc. 24], and concurring with the findings of the
Magistrate Judge under the applicable law;
It is ordered that Petitioner’s petitions for writ of habeas corpus are 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 16th day of
September, 2020.

S. MAURICE HICKS, JR.
UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
