MEMORANDUM OPINION

On May 15, 2014, the magistrate judge entered a Report and Recommendation, (doc. 10),

recommending that the petition for writ of habeas corpus be dismissed with prejudice. The time to

object to the Report and Recommendation has passed, and no objections have been filed. The court

has considered the entire file in this action, together with the report and recommendation, and has

reached an independent conclusion that the report and recommendation is due to be adopted and

approved.

Accordingly, the court hereby adopts and approves the findings and recommendation of the

magistrate judge as the findings and conclusions of this court. The petition for writ of habeas corpus

is due to be DISMISSED. A separate Order will be entered. 

This Court may issue a certificate of appealability “only if the applicant has a made a

substnaital showing of the dentail of a constitutional right.” 28 U.S.C. 2253(c)(2). To make such

a showing, a “petitioner must demonstrate that reasonable jurist would find the district court’s

assessment of the constitutional claims debatable and wrong,” Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 484

(2000),or that “the issues presented were adequate to deserve encouragerment to proceed further.”
