MEMORANDUM OPINION

On July 30, 2014, the magistrate judge entered a Report and Recommendation, (doc. 47),

recommending that this petition for writ of habeas corpus be dismissed with prejudice. Petitioner

has filed objections. (Doc. 50). 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

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 a 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 encouragement to proceed further.”
