ORDER

AND NOW, this 6th day of March, 2025, upon careful and independent consideration of Petitioner Jeffrey S. Anderson’s Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus and the Report and Recommendation of U.S. Magistrate Judge Carol Sandra Moore Wells, it is ORDERED that: 1. Petitioner’s Objections [Doc. 29] are OVERRULED. 2. The Petitioner’s motion to correct the record and reconsideration of the Court’s Report and Recommendations [Doc. 26] is DENIED. 3. The Report and Recommendation of Magistrate Judge Carol Sandra Moore Wells [Doc. 23] is APPROVED and ADOPTED; 4. Mr. Anderson’s Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus is DISMISSED with prejudice by separate Judgment, filed contemporaneously with this Order. See Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 58(a); Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases in the United States District Courts, Rule 12; 5. No certificate of appealability shall issue under

(c)(1)(A) because “the applicant has [not] made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right[,]” under

(c)(2), since he has not demonstrated that “reasonable jurists” would find my “assessment of the constitutional claims debatable or wrong.” Slack v. McDaniel,

(2000); see United States v. Cepero,

(3d Cir. 2000), abrogated on other grounds by Gonzalez v. Thaler,

(2012); and

4. The Clerk of Court shall mark this file closed.
