CIVIL ACTION NO. 16-0281-P

LINDA KATE KEENEY PASSANITI v. JAMES ROGERS
MAGISTRATE JUDGE HAYES
JUDGMENT
For the reasons contained in the Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge previously filed herein, noting the absence of objections thereto, and concurring with the Magistrate Judge's findings under the applicable law;
IT IS ORDERED that the Petition for Habeas Corpus (Record Document 29) filed by Petitioner Linda Kate Keeney Passaniti ("Passaniti") is DENIED and DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Passaniti's Motion for Appointment of Counsel (Record Document 30) is DENIED as MOOT.
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 at Shreveport, Louisiana, on this 7th day of July, 2017.
