v.

JOSEPH NOETH,

Respondent.

Appearances: Petitioner, pro se: Jalaal Peoples 95-B-2699 Auburn Correctional Facility P.O. Box 618 Auburn, NY 13021 For Respondent: Letitia James Attorney General of the State of New York Lisa E. Fleischmann Assistant Attorney General, of Counsel 28 Liberty Street New York, NY 10005

Hon. Brenda K. Sannes, United States District Judge:

MEMORANDUM-DECISION AND ORDER Petitioner, Jalaal Peoples, a New York State inmate, commenced this habeas corpus action under

28 U.S.C. § 2254

on June 12, 2017. (Dkt. No. 1). Respondent filed a response to the petition, and Petitioner filed a traverse. (Dkt. Nos. 5, 12). This matter was referred to United States Magistrate Judge Christian F. Hummel who, on August 12, 2019, issued a Report- Recommendation recommending that the petition be denied and that no certificate of appealability be issued. (Dkt. No. 13). Magistrate Judge Hummel advised the parties that under

28 U.S.C. § 636

(b)(1), they had fourteen days within which to file written objections to the report, and that the failure to object to the report within fourteen days would preclude appellate review. (Dkt. No. 13, at 18-19). No objections have been filed. As no objections to the Report-Recommendation have been filed, and the time for filing objections has expired, the Court reviews the Report-Recommendation for clear error. See Petersen vy. Astrue,

2 F. Supp. 3d 223, 228-29

(N.D.N.Y. 2012); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b) advisory committee’s note to 1983 amendment. Having reviewed the Report-Recommendation for clear error and found none, the Court adopts the Report-Recommendation in its entirety. For these reasons, it is ORDERED that the Report-Recommendation (Dkt. No. 13) is ADOPTED in its entirety; and it is further ORDERED that the petition (Dkt. No. 1) is DENIED; and it is further ORDERED that no certificate of appealability is issued because Petitioner has failed to make “a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right” as required by

28 U.S.C. § 2253

(c){2); and it is further ORDERED that the Clerk serve a copy of this Order on the parties in accordance with the Local Rules. IT IS SO ORDERED. Dated: October 16, 2019
