(2) GRANTING MOTION TO

v.

W.L. MONTGOMERY, Warden,

Respondent.

On July 9, 2015, Petitioner Gerry Johns (“Petitioner”), a state prisoner

proceeding pro se, filed a Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus Under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. 

On October 5, 2015, Respondent filed a motion to dismiss the petition on the grounds

it is a second or successive petition and also untimely. On March 16, 2016, Magistrate

Judge Nita L. Stormes issued a Report and Recommendation (“R&R”), recommending

that the Court grant Respondent’s motion to dismiss. Petitioner filed objections to the

R&R on March 29, 2016. 

This Court, having reviewed de novo the Magistrate Judge’s R&R and

Petitioner’s objections thereto adopts the R&R in its entirety. Respondent’s motion to

dismiss is granted. The Court finds no basis for a certificate of appealability. The Clerk

of Court shall enter judgment accordingly, and terminate this case.
