Opinion
CASE NO. CV411-107
04-13-2012
DAVID SUTHERLAND, Petitioner, v. YOLANDA RAWL, Respondent.
ORDER
Before the Court is the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation (Doc. 24), to which objections have been filed (Doc. 27) . After a careful de novo review of the record, the Court concludes that Petitioner's objections are without merit. Accordingly, the report and recommendation is ADOPTED as the Court's opinion in this case and Petitioner's 28 U.S.C. § 2254 Petition is DENIED. As noted in the report and recommendation, the Court declines to grant Petitioner a Certificate of Appealability, rendering moot any request for leave to appeal in forma pauperis. The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to close this case.
SO ORDERED this 13th day of April 2 012.
