No. 15-6524
ORDER
AND NOW, this 29th day of June, 2017, upon careful and independent consideration of
Petitioner Michael Freeman McLeary’s Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus Under 28 U.S.C.
§ 2254, and after de novo review of the Report and Recommendation of United States Magistrate
Judge Linda K. Caracappa and McLeary’s objections thereto, it is ORDERED:
1.
McLeary’s objections (Document 31) are OVERRULED1;
2.
The Report and Recommendation (Document 26) is APPROVED and ADOPTED;
3.
McLeary’s Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (Document 1) is DENIED; and
4.
There has been no substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right
warranting the issuance of a certificate of appealability.
The Clerk of Court is directed to mark this case CLOSED.
BY THE COURT:

In her Report and Recommendation (R&R), Judge Caracappa recommends denial of McLeary’s
habeas petition on the basis of procedural default. On February 14, 2017, McLeary filed objections
to the R&R, which are wholly unintelligible and in no way address the merits of his claim or the
R&R. In any event, because the Court agrees with the R&R that McLeary’s claims are
procedurally defaulted, it will overrule the objections and deny the petition.
