ORDER

In accordance with the Memorandum contemporaneously entered, the Court finds no merit
in the petitioner’s § 2254 habeas corpus petition (Docket Entry Nos. 1 and 5). Consequently, said

Should the petitioner file a timely notice of appeal from this order, such notice shall be

because the petitioner has failed to make a substantial showing of a constitutional violation.
It is so ORDERED.
