ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION

This matter is before the Court on Petitioner=s Objection to the Report and
Recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge Keith Ball entered on February 6, 2017,
dismissing the Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Having
considered said Report and Recommendation, Petitioner=s objections thereto, applicable statutory
and case law, and being otherwise fully advised in the premises, the Court concludes that
Petitioner=s objection is without merit and hereby adopts, as its own opinion, the Report and
Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge.
Based on the foregoing, it is ordered that the Report and Recommendation of United
States Magistrate Judge F. Keith Ball entered on February 6, 2017, and the same is hereby,
adopted as the finding of this Court. The matter shall be dismissed with prejudice.
Additionally, because Petitioner has not established that Ajurists of reason would find it
debatable whether the petition states a valid claim of the denial of a constitutional right and . . .
whether [this] court was correct in its procedural ruling,@ Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 484
(2000), no Certificate of Appealability shall issue.
A separate Final Judgment will be entered in accordance with Rule 58 of the Federal
Rules of Civil Procedure.

SO ORDERED, this the 28th day of March, 2017.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
