IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA
LARRY GUESS,
Petitioner,
CIVIL ACTION
NO. 13-5458

v.
GERALD ROZUM, et al.,
Respondents.

ORDER
AND NOW, this 15th day of May 2017 upon consideration of Petitioner's Petition for a Writ of

Habeas Corpus (Doc. No. 1), Respondents' Response to the Petition (Doc. No. 14), the Report and
Recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge David R. Strawbridge (Doc. No. 18), and that the
Report and Recommendation has not been objected to by the parties, it is ORDERED that:
1. The Report and Recommendation (Doc. No. 18) is APPROVED and ADOPTED.
2. The Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus (Doc. No. 1) is DENIED.
3. A Certificate of Appealability SHALL NOT issue because, based on the analysis contained in
the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation, as approved and adopted by this Court, a
reasonable jurist could not conclude that the Court is incorrect in denying and dismissing the
Habeas Petition. See 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2); Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473 (2000).
4. The Clerk of Court shall close this case for statistical purposes.

BY THE COURT:
