ORDER
On July 9, 2021, Magistrate Judge Phillip J. Green issued a Report and Recommendation
(R&R) recommending that the habeas petition be denied (ECF No. 15). The R&R was duly served
on the parties. No objections have been filed, and the deadline for doing so expired on July 23,
2021. On review, the Court concludes that the R&R correctly analyzes the issues and makes a
sound recommendation. Accordingly:
IT IS ORDERED that the R&R (ECF No. 15) is APPROVED and ADOPTED as the
opinion of the Court.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Petitioner’s petition for writ of habeas corpus (ECF
No. 1) is DENIED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that a certificate of appealability is DENIED.
The Court declines to certify that an appeal would not be taken in good faith.
