ORDER

---------------------------)
The Court previously adopted United States Magistrate Judge Jeremiah C.
Lynch's Findings and Recommendations in part, reserving ruling on the
recommendation for dismissal. The Court permitted petitioner John F. Lance to
file a petition for writ of habeas corpus by November 23, 2012, if he chose to do
so. (Doc. 13.) The Court informed Lance that the clerk would enter a judgment of
dismissal and his case would be closed if he did not file a petition by the deadline
set. Lance filed a notice indicating he did not intend to file a petition in this Court,
choosing instead to appeal directly to the United States Supreme Court. (Doc. 14.)

The Findings and Recommendations will therefore be adopted in full and this case
will be dismissed.
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Findings and Recommendation (doc. 7)
are adopted in full. The Petition (doc. 1 ) is DISMISSED for lack ofjurisdiction.
The Clerk of Court is directed to enter judgment pursuant to Rule 58 of the

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the docket shall reflect that the Court
certifies pursuant to Fed.R.App.P. 24(a)(4)(B) that any appeal of this decision
would not be taken in good faith.
