Civ. No. 13-1262

ORDER
AND NOW, this 31st day of July, 2018, upon careful and independent consideration of
Kevin Taylor’s Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (Doc. No. 3), Respondents’ Updated
Response to Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (Doc. No. 44), Taylor’s Reply (Doc. No. 45),
Judge Perkin’s Report and Recommendation (Doc. No. 47) to which there are no objections, and
available state court records, it is hereby ORDERED that:
1. The Report and Recommendation (Doc. No. 47) is APPROVED and ADOPTED;
2. The Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus (Doc. No. 3) is DISMISSED;
3. A Certificate of Appealability shall NOT ISSUE because Petition has not made a
substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right nor demonstrated that
reasonable jurists would debate the correctness of this ruling. See 28 U.S.C. §
2253(c)(2); Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 484 (2000); and
4. The CLERK OF COURT shall CLOSE this action.
AND IT IS SO ORDERED.
