concurs with the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation (R&R), (doc. no. 16), to which no objections have been filed. Accordingly, the R&R is ADOPTED. (Doc. no. 16.) Cobble’s

Petition is DISMISSED. (Doc. no. 1.) Applying the Certificate of Appealability (COA) standards, which are set forth in Brown v. United States,

at * 1-2(S.D. Ga. Feb. 9, 2009), the Court discerns no COA-worthy issues at this stage of the litigation, so no COA should issue.

(c)(1); see Alexander v. Johnson,

(5th Cir. 2000) (approving sua sponte denial of COA before movant filed a notice of

appeal). And, as there are no non-frivolous issues to raise on appeal, an

appeal would not be taken in good faith. Thus, in forma pauperis status

on appeal is likewise DENIED.

(a)(8). Upon the foregoing, the Court CLOSES this civil action.
