No. CV-12-01569-PHX-FJM

ORDER

Before the court is Petitioner’s petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28

U.S.C. § 2254 (doc. 1), Respondents’ response (doc. 10), Petitioner’s reply (doc. 15), and the

Report and Recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge recommending that the

petition be denied (doc. 17). Petitioner did not filed objections to the Report and

Recommendation and the time for doing so has expired.

Pursuant to Rule 8(b), Rules Governing § 2254 Cases, we accept the recommended

decision of the United States Magistrate Judge. Therefore, IT IS ORDERED DENYING

AND DISMISSING with prejudice the petition for writ of habeas corpus (doc. 1).

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED DENYING a certificate of appealability and leave

to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal because dismissal of the habeas petition is justified

by a plain procedural bar and jurists of reason would not find the ruling debatable, and

because Petitioner has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right.

DATED this 17th day of September, 2013.
