Opinion
CIVIL ACTION NO. 06-1507.
March 7, 2007
MEMORANDUM
Petitioner has filed objections to the Report and Recommendation of Magistrate Judge David R. Strawbridge. The objections are a restatement of his version of the facts and why they are insufficient to support the convictions in this case. However, the analysis of the undisputed facts in the Report and Recommendation and the applicable law by Judge Strawbridge are correct.
An order follows.
AND NOW, this 7th day of March, 2007, upon careful and independent consideration of the petition for a writ of habeas corpus, and after review of the Report and Recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge David R. Strawbridge, and Petitioner's objections thereto, it is ORDERED that:
1. The Report and Recommendation is APPROVED and ADOPTED;
2. The petition for a writ of habeas corpus is DENIED;
3. A certificate of appealability SHALL NOT issue, in that Petitioner has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right. See 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2); Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 484 (2000); and
4. The Clerk of Court shall mark this case CLOSED for statistical purposes.
