Opinion
16 CIVIL 7281 (VB)
08-31-2020
KEVIN DEVAULT, Petitioner, v. THOMAS GRIFFIN, Respondent.
JUDGMENT
It is hereby ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED: That for the reasons stated in the Court's Memorandum Opinion and Order dated August 31, 2020, the Court adopts the R&R as the opinion of the Court, and the petition for a writ of habeas corpus is denied; accordingly, this case is closed. As petitioner has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right, a certificate of appealability will not issue; the Court certifies pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that any appeal from this order would not be taken in good faith, and therefore in forma pauperis status is denied for the purpose of an appeal. DATED: New York, New York
