IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF WEST VIRGINIA

CHARLESTON DIVISION

ASHLEY MILLER, Petitioner,

v. CIVIL ACTION NO. 2:20-cv-00373 (Criminal No. 2:18-cr-00024-2)

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Respondent.

MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER

This action was referred to United States Magistrate Judge Omar Aboulhosn for submission of proposed findings of fact and recommendations for disposition pursuant to

. On April 27, 2023, Magistrate Judge Aboulhosn submitted his Proposed Findings & Recommendation [ECF No. 99] (“PF&R”) and recommended that the court deny Petitioner Ashley Miller’s Motion Under

to Vacate, Set Aside, or Correct Sentence by a Person in Federal Custody [ECF No. 91]. Neither party timely filed objections to the PF&R, nor sought an extension of time to do so. A district court “shall make a de novo determination of those portions of the report or specified proposed findings or recommendations to which objection is made.”

(b)(1)(C). This court is not, however, required to review, under a de novo or any other standard, the factual or legal conclusions of the magistrate judge as to those portions of the findings or recommendation to which no objections are addressed. Thomas v. Arn,

(1985). Because the parties have not filed objections in this case, the court adopts and incorporates herein the PF&R and orders judgment consistent therewith. Ms. Miller’s motion is DENIED. The court has additionally considered whether to grant a certificate of appealability. See

(c). A certificate will not be granted unless there is a “substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right.” Jd. § 2253(c)(2). The standard is satisfied only upon a showing that reasonable jurists would find that any assessment of the constitutional claims by this court is debatable or wrong and that any dispositive procedural ruling is likewise debatable. Miller-El v. Cockrell,

(2003) (citing Slack v. McDaniel,

, 484 (2000)); Rose v. Lee,

(4th Cir. 2001). The court concludes that the governing standard is not satisfied in this instance. Accordingly, a certificate of appealability is DENIED. The court DIRECTS the Clerk to send a copy of this Order to counsel of record and any unrepresented party. ENTER: May 16, 2023
