Opinion
Civil Action 2:02-CV-458
June 6, 2002
ORDER
Petitioner in this action under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 challenges the denial of his request for release on parole.
On May 9, 2002, the United States Magistrate Judge issued a Report and Recommendation recommending that the petition for a writ of habeas corpus be denied. This matter is now before the Court on petitioner's May 20, 2002 objections to the Report and Recommendation, which the Court will now consider de novo.
The Report and Recommendation correctly reasons that petitioner has no constitutional right to release on parole and that the procedures complained of in connection with the denial of his release did not give rise to a constitutional violation. Petitioner's objections thereto are without merit.
The Report and Recommendation is therefore ADOPTED and AFFIRMED. The petition for a writ of habeas corpus is hereby DISMISSED.
Moreover, the Court concludes that there exists no good cause to appeal the judgment entered in this action and declines to issue a certificate of appealability.
