Omoobajesu v. Martinez et al

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEW MEXICO
BLESSED EMMANUEL OMOOBAJESU,
Petitioner,
vs. 	Case No. 23cv600 WJ/GBW
RONALD MARTINEZ, et al.,
Respondents.
ORDER OVERRULING OBJECTIONS AND ADOPTING THE MAGISTRATE
JUDGE’S PROPOSED FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDED DISPOSITION
The Magistrate Judge filed his Proposed Findings and Recommended Disposition
(“PFRD”) on February 5, 2026. Doc. 28. The PFRD provided fourteen days for parties to file
objections. Respondents filed a notice of non-objection to the PFRD on February 6, 2026. Doc.
29. Due to alleged difficulties receiving mail, the Magistrate Judge extended Petitioner’s
objections deadline twice, once to March 16, 2026, and again to April 2, 2026. See Docs. 31, 34.
On March 20, 2026, Petitioner filed objections to the Magistrate Judge’s PFRD. Doc. 35.
Pursuant to FED. R. C IV. P. 72(b), the Court has conducted a de novo review of the record
and all parts of the Magistrate Judge’s PFRD that have been properly objected to. After
conducting this de novo review, and having thoroughly considered the Magistrate Judge’s PFRD
and the objections, the Court finds no reason either in law or fact to depart from the Magistrate
Judge’s recommended disposition.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED AS FOLLOWS:
1. 	The objections of Petitioner Blessed Omoobajesu are OVERRULED;
2. 	The Magistrate Judge’s Proposed Findings and Recommended Disposition (Doc. 28)
is ADOPTED;

2
3. 	The Court DENIES Petitioner’s Petition for relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2254; and
4. 	Because the Court has determined that Petitioner has failed to make a substantial
showing that he has been denied a constitutional right, the Court will DENY a
certificate of appealability.
