I have received proposed Findings and Recommendations from United States Magistrate Judge Patricia S. Harris. (Doc. No 14). After careful review of those Findings and Recommendations, the timely objections received (Doc. No. 15), and a de novo review of the record, I approve and adopt the Findings and Recommendations in all respects. Accordingly, this case is DISMISSED, without prejudice and the motion for a hearing (Doc. No. 15) is denied. Judgment will be entered accordingly.

In § 2254 cases, a certificate of appealability may issue only if the applicant has made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right. 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(1)-(2). The Court finds no issue on which petitioner has made a substantial showing of a denial of a constitutional right. Thus, the certificate of appealability is denied.
IT IS SO ORDERED
