UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF OHIO
EASTERN DIVISION
ANTONIO CROCKETT,
Petitioner,
Case No. 2:16-cv-925
Judge George C. Smith
Magistrate Elizabeth P. Deavers

v.
WARDEN, ROSS
CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTION,
Respondent.

OPINION AND ORDER
On June 8, 2018, the Magistrate Judge issued a Report and Recommendation
recommending that the Petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 be
dismissed. (ECF No. 7.) Although the parties were advised of the right to file objections to the
Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation, and of the consequences of failing to do so, no
objections have been filed.
The Report and Recommendation (ECF No. 7) is ADOPTED and AFFIRMED. This
action is hereby DISMISSED.
Petitioner has waived his right to appeal by failing to file objections. See Thomas v. Arn,
474 U.S. 140 (1985); United States v. Walters, 638 F.2d 947 (6th Cir. 1981). The Court therefore
DECLINES to issue a certificate of appealability.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
