DECISION and ORDER THOMAS McAVOY, District Judge Plaintiff, Ira C. Hoke, filed a Petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. This case was referred to the Hon. Victor E. Bianchini, United States Magistrate Judge, for a Report-Recommendation pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) and Local Rule 72.3(c). Magistrate Judge Bianchini filed his Report-Recommendation on April 25, 2007. Magistrate Judge Bianchini recommended that the action be dismissed because the Petition had not stated grounds for relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Magistrate Judge Bianchini also recommended that this Court not issue a certificate of appealability pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2) because the Petitioner had failed to make a substantial showing of a denial of a constitutional right. After examining the record, this Court has determined that the Report-Recommendation is not subject to attack for plain error or manifest injustice. Accordingly, this Court adopts the Report-Recommendation for the reasons stated therein, DISMISSES the petition, and DENIES a certificate of appealability. IT IS SO ORDERED.
