approve the Report and Recommendation of Magistrate Judge Andrea
K. Johnstone dated April 17, 2017, for the reasons set forth
therein.

Additionally, finding that the petitioner has failed to
make a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional
right, the court declines to issue a certificate of
appealability.

See 28 U.S.C.§ 2253(c)(2); Rule 11, Rules

Governing Habeas Corpus Cases Under Section 2254; First Cir. LR
