In a Report and Recommendation dated June 30, 2009, Magistrate Judge Theodore H. Katz recommended that the petition for a writ of habeas corpus be denied.

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Magistrate Judge Katz's "Report and Recommendation" is adopted;

2. The petition for a writ of habeas corpus is denied, and the action is dismissed;

4. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a) the Court certifies that any appeal from this Order would not be taken in good faith.
