WILLIAM STRINGER PETITIONER v. WARDEN, HOCKING CORRECTIONAL FACILITY RESPONDENT
JUDGMENT
This matter is before the Court on the Report and Recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge (Doc. #11), and having considered de novo those objections filed thereto by Petitioner (Doc. #13), and the Court being sufficiently advised,
IT IS ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation (Doc. #11) be, and it hereby is, adopted as the findings of fact and conclusions of law of this Court; that petitioner's Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (Doc. #3), is DISMISSED with prejudice as barred by procedural default. A certificate of appealability shall not issue with respect to any of the claims alleged herein. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3), any appeal of this judgment would be objectively frivolous and petitioner therefore should not be permitted to proceed in forma pauperis.
This 12th day of August, 2015.
Signed By:
William O . Bertelsman
United States District Judge
