Case No. 1:24-cv-873-AMM-SGC

MEMORANDUM OPINION

On November 19, 2024, the magistrate judge entered a report recommending 

the claims presented in this petition for writ of habeas corpus be dismissed as 

unexhausted. Doc. 10. Pursuant to Rule 11 of the Rules Governing 2254 

Proceedings, the magistrate judge further recommended denial of a certificate of 

appealability. Id. at 4. Although the report and recommendation advised the 

petitioner of his right to object, no objections have been filed; the deadline to object 

has expired. 

After careful consideration of the record in this case, the court ADOPTS the 

magistrate judge’s report and ACCEPTS the recommendation. Consistent with that

recommendation, the claims presented in this matter will be dismissed as 

unexhausted; a certificate of appealability will be denied. A separate order will be 

entered.
