Civil No. 1:14-cv-197-NT

ORDER AFFIRMING THE
RECOMMENDED DECISION OF THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE
The United States Magistrate Judge filed with the Court on December
1, 2014 his Recommended Decision (ECF No. 19).

The Plaintiff filed his

Objection to the Recommended Decision (ECF No. 20) on December 23, 2014.
Defendant did not file a response to the Plaintiff’s Objection.
I have reviewed and considered the Magistrate Judge's Recommended
Decision, together with the entire record; I have made a de novo
determination of all matters adjudicated by the Magistrate Judge's
Recommended Decision; and I concur with the recommendations of the
United States Magistrate Judge for the reasons set forth in his
Recommended Decision, and determine that no further proceeding is

necessary.
1. It is therefore ORDERED that the Recommended Decision of the
Magistrate Judge is hereby AFFIRMED.
2. It is further ORDERED that the Petitioner’s 28 U.S.C. § 2254
Petition (ECF No. 1) be and hereby is DENIED.
3. It is further ORDERED that no certificate of appealability should
issue in the event the Plaintiff files a notice of appeal because there
is no substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right
within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2).
