Civil Action No. 3:18-CV-00014-L (BT)

ORDER
Before the court is Johnny Ray Walker’s (“Petitioner”) Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus
under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (Doc. 3), filed January 3, 2018; Lorie Davis’s (“Respondent”) Response
(Doc. 16), filed June 1, 2018; and Petitioner’s Reply (Doc. 20), filed on July 31, 2018. On
December 31, 2018, United States Magistrate Judge Rebecca Rutherford entered the Findings,
Conclusions, and Recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge (“Report”),
recommending that the petition be denied with prejudice for failure to make a substantial showing
of the denial of a federal right. No objections were filed by the deadline for pro se petitioners.
Having reviewed the record in this case, Report, and applicable law, the court determines
that the findings and conclusions of the magistrate judge are correct and accepts them as those of
the court. Accordingly, the court denies Petitioner’s Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (Doc. 3)
and dismisses with prejudice this action for failure to make a substantial showing of the denial
of a federal right.
It is so ordered this 30th day of January, 2019.
