CHIEF JUDGE CRENSHAW
ORDER
For the reasons set forth in the accompanying Memorandum Opinion, Petitioner Michael
Webster’s petition for the writ of habeas corpus (ECF No. 1) is DENIED, and this matter is
DISMISSED.
As explained in the Memorandum Opinion, the Court finds that the issues raised in the §
2254 petition do not “deserve encouragement to proceed further.” Miller-El v. Cockrell, 537 U.S.
322, 327 (2003). The Court therefore DENIES a certificate of appealability (“COA”). The
petitioner may, however, seek a COA directly from the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals. Fed. R.
App. P. 22(b)(1).
This is a final order for purposes of Fed. R. Civ. P. 58.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
