Case No. 1:25-cv-558
Judge Jeffery P. Hopkins
ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
The Court has reviewed the Report and Recommendations of United States
Magistrate Judge Michael R. Merz (Doc. 14) to whom this case was referred pursuant to 28
U.S.C. § 636(b), and noting no objections were filed thereafter, and that the time for filing
such objections under Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b) has expired, hereby ADOPTS said Report and
Recommendations.
Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that the Petition be DISMISSED without
prejudice to its refiling when Petitioner has exhausted his available state court remedies.
Petitioner is DENIED any requested certificate of appealability and the Court hereby certifies
to the United States Court of Appeals that an appeal would be objectively frivolous and
therefore should not be permitted to proceed in forma pauperis.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
