CIVIL ACTION NO. 16-0971-P

TERRANCE LYNN JOHNSON v. WARDEN KEITH DEVILLE
MAGISTRATE JUDGE HAYES
JUDGMENT
The Amended Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge having been considered, no objections thereto having been filed, and finding that same is supported by the law and the record in this matter,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that Terrance Lynn Johnson's Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (Record Document 1) is hereby DENIED AND DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.
Rule 11 of the Rules Governing Section 2254 Proceedings for the U.S. District Courts requires the district court to issue or deny a certificate of appealability when it enters a final order adverse to the applicant. The Court, after considering the record in this case and the standard set forth in 28 U.S.C. Section 2253, DENIES a certificate of appealability because the applicant has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right.
Petitioner's Motion for Certificate of Appealability (Record Document 18) is hereby DENIED. --------
THUS DONE AND SIGNED this 27th day of April, 2017, in Shreveport, Louisiana.
