The petitioner Kenneth Preston Gray ("Gray") filed with the court a petition for a writ of

Judge for a report and recommendation in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and Rule 72 of

not file any objections. After de novo review of the petition and documents in this case, together
with the Report and Recommendation, the following order is entered:
AND NOW, this 19th day of June, 2018;
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the petition for a writ of habeas corpus is DENIED and
