MEMORANDUM OPINION

The magistrate judge filed a report on May 12, 2020, recommending the court 

dismiss with prejudice Petitioner Laranden Dewayne Perry’s petition for a writ of 

habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. (Doc. 13). Although the parties were 

advised of their right to file specific written objections within fourteen days, no 

objections have been received by the court. (Id.). 

Having carefully considered de novo all the materials in the court file, 

including the report and recommendation, the court ADOPTS the magistrate judge’s 

report and ACCEPTS his recommendation. Accordingly, the court finds that the 

petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 in the above-styled 

cause is due to be dismissed with prejudice. 

The court may issue a certificate of appealability “only if the applicant has

made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right.” 28 U.S.C. § 

2253(c)(2). To make such a showing, a “petitioner must demonstrate that reasonable 

jurists would find the district court’s assessment of the constitutional claims 

debatable or wrong,” Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 484 (2000), or that “the issues 

presented were adequate to deserve encouragement to proceed further.” Miller-El v. 

Cockrell, 537 U.S. 322, 336 (2003) (internal quotations omitted). This court finds 

Petitioner’s claims do not satisfy either standard.

A separate order will be entered. 

DONE and ORDERED on June 4, 2020.
