ANTHONY LAMAR CORKER,

Petitioner, Case No. 2:21-cv-16 v. HON. JANET T. NEFF MIKE BROWN,

Respondent. ____________________________/

ORDER

This is a habeas corpus action filed pursuant to

. The matter was referred to the Magistrate Judge, who issued a Report and Recommendation on October 15, 2021, recommending that this Court deny the petition and a certificate of appealability, and that the Court not certify that an appeal would not be taken in good faith (ECF No. 14). The Report and Recommendation was duly served on the parties. No objections have been filed, see

(b)(1), and the Court issues this Order. The Court will also issue a Judgment in this § 2254 proceeding. See Gillis v. United States,

(6th Cir. 2013) (requiring a separate judgment in habeas proceedings). Accordingly: IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge (ECF No. 14) is APPROVED and ADOPTED as the Opinion of the Court and the petition for habeas corpus relief (ECF No. 1) is DENIED for the reasons stated in the Report and Recommendation. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that a certificate of appealability pursuant to

(c) is DENIED as to each issue asserted. See RULES GOVERNING § 2254 CASES, Rule 11 (requiring the district court to “issue or deny a certificate of appealability when it enters a final order”). Petitioner has not demonstrated that reasonable jurists would find the Court’s rulings debatable or wrong. Slack v. McDaniel,

(2000); Murphy v. Ohio,

, 466- 67 (6th Cir. 2001). IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that this Court does not certify that an appeal would not be

taken in good faith.
