ORDER

L4

.

AND NOW, this.13 day of April, 2012, after the petitioner, Richard Allen
Cannon, filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus, and after a Report and Recommendation
was filed by the United States Magistrate Judge granting the parties a period of time after being
served with a copy to file written objections thereto, and upon consideration of the objections
filed by the petitioner, which request additional briefing but do not indicate what assistance such
additional briefing would provide to the resolution of this case, and upon independent review of
the petition and the record and upon consideration of the Magistrate Judge's Report and
Recommendation (Docket No. 12), which is adopted as the opinion of this Court,
IT IS ORDERED that the petition for a writ of habeas corpus filed by the petitioner
(Docket No.1) is dismissed and, because reasonable jurists could not conclude that a basis for
appeal exists, a certificate of appealability is denied.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that pursuant to Rule 4(a)(1) of the Federal Rules of

Appellate Procedure if the petitioner desires to appeal from this Order he must do so within thirty

(30) days by filing a notice of appeal as provided in Rule 3, Fed. R. App. P.
