No. 4:13-CV-1903 CAS

ORDER
This matter is before the Court on state prisoner Rollan A. Williams’ action pursuant to 28
U.S.C. § 2254. This case was referred to United States Magistrate Judge David D. Noce for report
and recommendation on all dispositive matters and for final disposition on all non-dispositive
matters, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b).
On June 6, 2016, Judge Noce filed a Report and Recommendation of United States
Magistrate Judge which recommended that the petition for writ of habeas corpus be denied. No
objections were filed to the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation within the time
permitted.
After careful review of the record, the Court concurs in the recommendation of the
Magistrate Judge as set forth in the thorough and well-reasoned Report and Recommendation.1
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation of United States
Magistrate Judge is sustained, adopted and incorporated herein. [Doc. 23]

The Court notes that the Report and Recommendation’s citation on page 5 to “Hayes v.
Lockhart, 766 F.2d 1247, 1253 (8th Cir. 2015),” contains an incorrect date. Hayes was issued in
1985.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Rollan A. Williams’ Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus
pursuant to Title 28 U.S.C. § 2254 is DENIED. [Doc. 1]
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that this matter is DISMISSED, with no further action to
take place herein.
An appropriate judgment will accompany this order.
