ROBERT J. ROBINSON, Petitioner, v. STATE OF MAINE, Respondent.
ORDER AFFIRMING THE RECOMMENDED DECISION OF THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE
George Z. Singal, United States District Judge
On October 13, 2022, the United States Magistrate Judge filed with the Court his Recommended Decision (ECF No. 2). On October 21, 2022, Petitioner filed his Objection to the Recommended Decision (ECF No. 3).
The Court has reviewed and considered Petitioner's Petition for habeas relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 and his Objection. Having made a de novo determination of all matters adjudicated by the Magistrate Judge's Recommended Decision, the Court concurs with the recommendations of the Magistrate Judge for the reasons set forth in the Recommended Decision. As a result, the Court determines that no further proceedings are necessary with respect to this Recommended Decision.
It is therefore ORDERED that:
1. The Recommended Decision (ECF No. 2) is hereby AFFIRMED.
2. An evidentiary hearing is not warranted under Rule 8 of the Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases.
3. Petitioner's Petition for habeas relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (ECF No. 1) is hereby DENIED.
5. A certificate of appealability pursuant to Rule 11 of the Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases is hereby DENIED because there is no substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2).
SO ORDERED.
