UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

EDWARD V. SHELL,

Petitioner,

vs.

RONALD RACKLEY, Warden,

Respondent.

CASE NO. 16cv2320-LAB (JLB)

ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND 

RECOMMENDATION

The Court finds Judge Burkhardt’s Report and Recommendation correct and adopts 

it. Edward Shell failed to file timely objections, but the Court considered the issues he raised 

in his extension motion [Dkt. 20] and finds them meritless. Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b). Shell’s 

motion to expand the record and his petition for habeas relief is denied. [Dkt. 15 & 16]. Since 

Shell hasn’t “made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right,” the Court 

denies him a certificate of appealability. 28 U.S.C. § 2253. The clerk shall enter judgment 

and close the case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: August 21, 2017
