Magistrate Judge Patricia S. Harris. 	No objections have been filed. 	After careful

hereby are, approved and adopted in their entirety as this Court's findings in all
respects. Judgment will be entered accordingly.

appealability may issue only if the applicant has made a substantial showing of the
denial of a constitutional right. 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(1)-(2). The Court finds no issue
on which petitioner has made a substantial showing of a denial of a constitutional
right. Thus, the certificate of appealability is denied.
