Petitioner Willis Randolph, a state prisoner without counsel, seeks a writ of habeas corpus 

under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 with this court. (ECF No. 1.) The matter was referred to a United States 

Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302. On November 18, 

2019, the Magistrate Judge entered findings and recommendations that the petition be dismissed 

as successive. (ECF No. 7). The parties were provided an opportunity to file objections to the 

findings and recommendations within fourteen days. No objections were filed.

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 304, this 

Court has conducted a de novo review of this case. Having carefully reviewed the entire file, the 

Court finds the findings and recommendations to be supported by the record and proper analysis. 

Accordingly, THE COURT HEREBY ORDERS that:

1. The findings and recommendations issued by the Magistrate Judge on November 

18, 2019, (ECF No. 7), are ADOPTED in full;
