No. 3:14-0608
Judge Trauger

ORDER

In accordance with the Memorandum contemporaneously entered, the Court finds no merit
in the petitioner’s application for habeas corpus relief (Docket Entry No. 1). Consequently, the
petition for writ of habeas corpus 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 been unable to make a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional
right.
Entry of this order shall constitute the final judgment in this action.
It is so ORDERED.
