ENTRY AND ORDER OVERRULING SCANDRICK'S OBJECTIONS (Doc. #10) TO THE CHIEF MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS; ADOPTING THE CHIEF MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS (Doc. #8) IN ITS ENTIRETY; DISMISSING SCANDRICK'S PETITION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS WITH PREJUDICE; DENYING ANY REQUESTED CERTIFICATE OF APPEALABILITY AND TERMINATING THIS CASE

THOMAS M. ROSE, District Judge.

This matter comes before the Court pursuant to pro se Petitioner Lonnie Scandrick's ("Scandrick's") Objections (doc. #10) to Chief Magistrate Judge Sharon L. Ovington's Report and Recommendations (doc. #8). Chief Magistrate Judge Ovington's Report and Recommendations recommends that Scandrick's Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus be dismissed with prejudice and that Scandrick be denied a certificate of appealability.

The time has run and the Warden has not responded to Scandrick's Objections. This mater is, therefore, ripe for decision.

As required by 28 U.S.C. §636(b) and Federal Rules of Civil Procedure Rule 72(b), the District Judge has made a de novo review of the record in this case. Upon said review, the Court finds that Scandrick's Objections to the Chief Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendations are not well-taken, and they are hereby OVERRULED. The Chief Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendations is adopted in its entirety.

Scandrick's §2254 Motion is denied with prejudice. Further, Scandrick is denied a certificate of appealability. Finally, the captioned cause is hereby ordered terminated upon the docket records of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, Western Division, at Dayton.

DONE and ORDERED.
