ORDER
On February 28, 2014, Magistrate Judge Joseph G. Scoville issued a Report and
Recommendation (“R&R”) recommending that Petitioner Mark Ray’s petition for writ of habeas
corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 be denied. (Dkt. No. 20.) The R&R was mailed to Petitioner
at his last known address and was returned with the notation “RETURN TO SENDER NOT
DELIVERABLE AS ADDRESSED UNABLE TO FORWARD” (Dkt. No. 21.) No objections to
the R&R have been filed, and the deadline for doing so has expired. Upon review, the Court
concludes that the R&R correctly analyzes the issues and makes a sound recommendation.
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the R&R (Dkt. No. 20) is APPROVED and ADOPTED
as the opinion of the Court.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Petitioner’s petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant
to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (Dkt. No. 1) is DENIED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that a certificate of appealability is DENIED.

Dated: March 18, 2014
