ORDER
Juan R. Sanchez, C.J.
AND NOW, this 18th day of May, 2022, upon careful and independent consideration of the petition, response, all associated briefing, and available state court records, and after de novo review of the Report and Recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge Richard A Lloret, to which no objections were filed, it is hereby ORDERED:
On February 25, 2021, Judge Lloret issued a Report and Recommendation (R&R) recommending Williams's habeas petition be dismissed without an evidentiary hearing. On December 27, 2021, Williams filed a request for an extension to file objections to the R&R pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). The Court granted Williams' request for an extension on January 7, 2022, and granted Williams until February 2, 2022 to file objections. Williams failed to file objections by that date or in the three months thereafter.
1. The Report and Recommendation (Document 13) is APPROVED and ADOPTED; 2 2. The Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus (Document 1) is DENIED AND DISMISSED; 3. A certificate of appealability SHALL NOT issue, in that the Petitioner has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right nor demonstrated reasonable jurists would debate the correctness of the procedural aspects of this ruling. See 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2); Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 484 (2000); and 4. The Clerk of the Court shall mark this case CLOSED for statistical purposes.
