ORDER
Honorable Roslyn O. Silver Senior United States District Judge
On October 12, 2023, Magistrate Judge Alison S. Bachus issued a Report and Recommendation (“R&R”). The R&R analyzes Petitioner Michael Devaughn Johnson's various claims and recommends the Court conclude he is not entitled to relief. (Doc. 16). Petitioner did not file any objections to the R&R. Therefore, the Court need not conduct a de novo review of any aspect of the R&R. The R&R will be adopted in full.
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED the Report and Recommendation (Doc. 16) is ADOPTED IN FULL. The petition for writ of habeas corpus (Doc. 1) is DENIED and this case is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE. The Clerk of Court shall enter judgment in favor of Respondents and close this case.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED a Certificate of Appealability and leave to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal are DENIED because the dismissal of portions of the Petition is justified by a plain procedural bar and reasonable jurists would not find the ruling debatable, and because Petitioner has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right.
