CIVIL ACTION NO. 14-2734

WILLIE CARL JONES v. N. BURL CAIN, ET AL.
MAGISTRATE JUDGE HORNSBY
JUDGMENT
For the reasons assigned in the Report and Recommendation (Record Document 71) of the Magistrate Judge previously filed herein, and having thoroughly reviewed the record, including the written objections filed (Record Documents 74 and 78), and concurring with the findings of the Magistrate Judge under the applicable law;
IT IS ORDERED that the petition for writ of habeas corpus is DENIED.
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.
THUS DONE AND SIGNED in Shreveport, Louisiana, this the 26th day of September, 2017.
