No. 3:11-0136
Judge Campbell

O R D E R
In accordance with the Memorandum contemporaneously entered,
the Court finds that the petitioner has failed to state a claim
upon which habeas corpus relief can be granted. Therefore, his
habeas corpus petition (Docket Entry No.2) 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.
