Civil No. 1:14-cv-00204-NT

ORDER AFFIRMING THE
RECOMMENDED DECISION OF THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE
The United States Magistrate Judge filed with the Court on October
21, 2014 his Recommended Decision (ECF No. 16). The Petitioner filed his
Objection to the Recommended Decision (ECF No. 19) on November 28, 2014.
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

1

necessary. It is therefore ORDERED that the Recommended Decision of the
Magistrate Judge is hereby AFFIRMED.
1. It is further ORDERED that the Petitioner’s motion for habeas
corpus relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 is DISMISSED.
2. It is further ORDERED that a certificate of appealability pursuant
to Rule 11 of the Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases is hereby
DENIED because there is no substantial showing of the denial of a
constitutional right within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. § 253(c)(2).
SO ORDERED.
