ORDER AFFIRMING RECOMMENDED DECISION
OF THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE
On September 24, 2015, the United States Magistrate Judge filed with the
court, with a copy to the petitioner’s counsel, his Recommended Decision on 28
U.S.C. § 2254 Petition. The petitioner filed an objection to the Recommended
Decision on October 20, 2015.

I have reviewed and considered the

Recommended Decision, together with the entire record; I have made a de novo
determination of all matters adjudicated by the Recommended Decision; and I
concur with the recommendations of the United States Magistrate Judge for the
reasons set forth in the Recommended Decision, and determine that no further
proceeding is necessary.
It is therefore ORDERED that the Recommended Decision of the Magistrate
Judge is hereby ADOPTED. The petitioner’s motion for habeas relief under 28
U.S.C. § 2254 is DISMISSED and I DENY a certificate of appealability pursuant to
Rule 11 of the Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases.
SO ORDERED.
DATED THIS 20TH DAY OF OCTOBER, 2015
