Opinion
21 CIVIL 7887
09-30-2022
KEVIN WALKER, Petitioner, v. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Respondent.
JUDGMENT
It is hereby ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED: That for the reasons stated in the Court's Order dated September 30, 2022, the Report and Recommendation is adopted, and, for the reasons therein, the petition is dismissed with prejudice. In addition, because petitioner has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right, a certificate of appealability will not issue. See 28 U.S.C. § 2253. Moreover, the Court certifies that any appeal from the Order would not be taken in good faith, as petitioner's claim lacks any arguable basis in law or fact, and therefore permission to proceed in forma pauperis is also denied; accordingly, the case is closed.
