Trial Court Opinion

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF OKLAHOMA

RHONDA FLEMING, ) ) Petitioner, ) ) v. ) Case No. CIV-22-463-D ) FNU SNOOK, ) ) Respondent. )

O R D E R

This matter is before the Court for review of the Report and Recommendation issued by United States Magistrate Judge Amanda Maxfield Green pursuant to

28 U.S.C. § 636

(b)(1)(B) and (C). Judge Green recommends that this action be dismissed for failure of Petitioner to cure a deficient pleading and to comply with orders to cure these deficiencies. The case file shows no timely objection to the Report nor request for an extension of time, even though Petitioner was expressly informed of her right to object, the procedure for doing so, and the consequences of failing to object. Therefore, the Court finds that Petitioner has waived further review of all issues addressed in the Report. See Moore v. United States,

950 F.2d 656, 659

(10th Cir. 1991); United States v. 2121 East 30th Street,

73 F.3d 1057, 1060

(10th Cir. 1996). For the reasons explained by Judge Green, the Court finds that this action should be dismissed without prejudice. IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation [Doc. No. 6] is ADOPTED in its entirety. This action is DISMISSED without prejudice. A

separate judgment of dismissal shall be entered. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that pursuant to Rule 11(a) of the Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases, the Court must issue or deny a certificate of appealability (“COA”) when it enters a final order adverse to a petitioner. A COA may issue only upon “a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right.”

28 U.S.C. §2253

(c)(2). “When the district court denies a habeas petition on procedural grounds without reaching

the prisoner’s underlying constitutional claim, a COA should issue when the prisoner shows, at least, that jurists of reason would find it debatable whether the petition states a valid claim of the denial of a constitutional right and that jurists of reason would find it debatable whether the district court was correct in its procedural ruling.” Slack v. McDaniel,

529 U.S. 473, 484

(2000). “A petitioner satisfies this standard by demonstrating

that jurists of reason could disagree with the district court’s resolution of his constitutional claims or that jurists could conclude the issues presented are adequate to deserve encouragement to proceed further.” Miller-El v. Cockrell,

537 U.S. 322, 327

(2003). Upon consideration, the Court finds the requisite standard is not met in this case. Therefore, a COA will be denied.. IT IS SO ORDERED this 11" day of August, 2022.
