No. 3:10-0295 Judge Trauger

ORDER In accordance with the Memorandum contemporaneously entered, the Court finds no merit in the petitioner's application (Docket Entry No.1) for habeas corpus relief. Therefore, the petition is DENIED and this action is hereby DISMISSED. Rule 8(a), Rules -- § 2254 Cases. Should the petitioner file a timely notice of appeal from this order, such notice shall be treated as an application for a certificate of appealability, 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c), which will NOT issue because the petitioner has failed to make a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right. It is so ORDERED.
