DONALD STEWART, Petitioner, v. KATHY BRITTAIN et al., Respondents.
ORDER
JEFFREY L. SCHMEHL, J.
AND NOW this 9th day of September, 2022, it is hereby ORDERED as follows:
1. Petitioner Donald Stewart has filed another Motion for Leave to Proceed In Forma Pauperis (ECF No. 48). As with his prior motions, the current motion is DENIED AS MOOT because Petitioner has already paid his filing fee (ECF Nos. 10, 11);
2. Petitioner Donald Stewart's Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus is DENIED and DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE;
3. The Report and Recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge Richard A. Lloret is APPROVED and ADOPTED;
4. No certificate of appealability shall issue under 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(1)(A) because “the applicant has [not] made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right[,]” nor under 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2), since he has not demonstrated that “reasonable jurists” would find my “assessment of the constitutional claims debatable or wrong.” Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 484 (2000); see United States v. Cepero, 224 F.3d 256, 263-63 (3d Cir. 2000), abrogated on other grounds by Gonzalez v. Thaler, 565 U.S. 134 (2012); and
5. The Clerk of Court shall mark this file closed.
