ORDER AFFIRMING THE
RECOMMENDED DECISION OF THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE

The United States Magistrate Judge filed with the Court on February 12, 2015, his
Recommended Decision (ECF No. 2). Petitioner filed his Objection to the Recommended
Decision (ECF No. 3) on March 9, 2015.
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 hereby ORDERED the Petitioner’s Petition (ECF No. 1) is hereby
DISMISSED.

3.

It is ORDERED that a certificate of appealability is DENIED because there is no
substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right within the meaning of 28
U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2).
