Case No. 12-CV-15070

MICKEON GENE WASHINGTON, Petitioner, v. PAUL KLEE, Respondent.
HON. GEORGE CARAM STEEH
ORDER ACCEPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
(DOC. #10) TO DENY PETITIONER'S APPLICATION FOR THE WRIT OF HABEAS
CORPUS (DOC. # 1) AND DENYING A CERTIFICATE OF APPEALABILITY
Before the court is petitioner Mickeon Washington's application for the writ of habeas corpus, which was referred to the magistrate judge for a report and recommendation. On July 31, 2013, Magistrate Judge Paul Komives issued his report, recommending that the court deny both the habeas corpus petition and a certificate of appealability.
The magistrate judge specifically stated that any objections to his report must be filed within 14 days of service, and that failure to file such objections constituted a waiver of any further right of appeal. See Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 155 (1985). No such objections have been filed to date.
The court has considered the petition and associated pleadings, finds the report and recommendation to be well-reasoned, and hereby adopts the result recommended therein as the determination of this court. Accordingly, petitioner's application for the writ of habeas corpus is hereby DENIED. Finding that petitioner has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right, the court will also DENY the issuance of a certificate of appealability.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
