ORDER
AND NOW, this 22nd day of August 2018, upon consideration of the Amended Petition
for Writ of Habeas Corpus (Doc. No. 4 ), the Response to the Petition (Doc. ~o. 10), the Report
and Recommendation filed by Cnited States ~agistrate Judge Jacob P. Hart (Doc. No. 14), and
the fact that the Report and Recommendation has not been objected to by the parties, it is

ORDERED that:
1.

The Report and Recommendation (Doc. :So. 14) is APPROVED and ADOPTED;

2. The Amended Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus (Doc. No. 4) 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:
