Opinion
Case No. LA CV 14-8771 VAP (JCG)
05-20-2015
FELIPE TERRELL, Petitioner, v. JEFFREY BEARD, Secretary of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, Respondent.
ORDER ACCEPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION OF UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE AND DENYING CERTIFICATE OF APPEALABILITY
Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636, the Court has reviewed the Petition, the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation, and the remaining record, and has made a de novo determination. No objections to the Report and Recommendation have been filed.
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT:
1. The Report and Recommendation is approved and adopted;
2. Judgment be entered denying the Petition and dismissing this action without prejudice; and
3. The Clerk serve copies of this Order and the Judgment on the parties.
Additionally, for the reasons set forth in the Report and Recommendation, the Court finds that Petitioner has not shown that "jurists of reason would find it debatable whether": (1) "the petition states a valid claim of the denial of a constitutional right"; and (2) "the district court was correct in its procedural ruling." See Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 483-84 (2000). Thus, the Court declines to issue a certificate of appealability. DATED: May 20, 2015
