CHRISTOPHER GORDY, 	*

Respondent. 	*
ORDER
After 	due 	and 	proper 	consideration 	of 	all 	portions 	of 	this
file 	deemed 	relevant 	to 	the 	issues 	raised, 	and 	there 	having 	been
no 	objections 	filed, 	the 	report 	and 	recommendation 	of 	the
Magistrate Judge made under 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and dated April
17, 2025 (Doc. 7) is ADOPTED as the opinion of this Court.
It is ORDERED that Petitioner Eddie Lee Pugh’s § 2254 habeas
petition (Doc. 1) and this action are DISMISSED without prejudice
for 	failure 	to 	prosecute 	and 	failure 	to 	obey 	the 	Court’s 	order.
Petitioner Pugh is DENIED a certificate of appealability, and the
Court CERTIFIES that any appeal by Petitioner Pugh of the dismissal
of 	the 	present 	§ 	2254 	habeas 	petition 	would 	be 	without 	merit 	and
therefore 	not 	taken 	in 	good 	faith, 	thus 	denying 	Petitioner 	Pugh
entitlement to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal.
DONE and ORDERED this 12th day of May, 2025.
