JAMES H. FISHER, Petitioner, v. R.C. JOHNSON, Respondent.
ORDER ACCEPTING REPORT AND ADOPTING, FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS OF UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE, AND DENYING CERTIFICATE OF APPEALABILITY
STANLEY BLUMENFELD, JR. UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636, the Court has reviewed the Petition, the records on file, the Report and Recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge (“Report”), and Petitioner's Objections to that Report. The Court has engaged in a de novo review of those portions of the Report to which Petitioner has objected. The Court accepts the Report and adopts it as its own findings and conclusions. Accordingly, the Petition is dismissed with prejudice.
Further, for the reasons stated in the Report and Recommendation, the Court finds that Petitioner has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right and, therefore, a certificate of appealability is denied. See 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2); Fed. R. App. P. 22(b); Miller-El v. Cockrell, 537 U.S. 322, 336 (2003).
