R

2012, after a petition for a writ of habeas

corpus was filed by the petitioner, Maurice R. Goins, and after a Report and Recommendation of
the United States Magistrate Judge was issued, and the petitioner was accorded an opportunity to
file written objections thereto, and upon consideration of the objections filed by the petitioner,
and after independent review of the petition and the record, and upon consideration of the Report
and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge, which is adopted and incorporated as the opinion
of this Court,
IT IS ORDERED that the petition of Maurice R. Goins for a writ of habeas corpus is
dismissed, and that a certificate of appealability is denied, because reasonable jurists could not
conclude that a basis for appeal exists.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that pursuant to Rule 4(a)(1) of the F.R.App.P., 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 by Rule 3 F.R.App.P.
