SANFORD v. BURGE

NINA GERSHON, District Judge

Petitioner's objections, dated June 8, 2004, to the February 27, 2004 Report and Recommendation of the Honorable Marilyn D. Go, magistrate judge, have been reviewed under the de novo standard of review. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 72 (b). The objections are without merit. Judge Go's thorough and thoughtful analysis of the issues before the court is hereby adopted by the court in its entirety. For the reasons stated by Judge Go, the petition for a writ of habeas corpus is denied.

Since petitioner has failed to make a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right, a certificate of appealability is denied pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c).
