It is hereby ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED: That for the reasons stated in the Court's Order dated April 5, 2021, having carefully reviewed the R&R and the underlying record, the Court finds no error, clear or otherwise. The R&R is adopted as the opinion of the Court, and the petition for a writ of habeas corpus is DENIED. As petitioner has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right, a certificate of appealability will not issue. See

(c)(2); Love v. McCray,

(2d Cir. 2005). The Court certifies, pursuant to

(a)(3), that any appeal from the order would not be taken in good faith, and therefore in forma pauperis status is denied for the purpose of an appeal. See Coppedge v. United States,

(1962); accordingly, the case is closed. Dated: New York, New York April 6, 2021
