In his petition, Lanier challenged the judgment of sentence imposed upon him by the Court of Common Pleas of Erie County on March 18, 2015. On August 13, 2018, the undersigned, then a United States Magistrate Judge, issued a Report and Recommendation (ECF No. 13) that the petition be denied and that a certificate of appealability be denied with respect to all claims. Lanier filed Objections (ECF No. 14) to the Report and Recommendation.
On September 14, 2018, the undersigned was sworn in as a United States District Judge. This action was reassigned to this Court's docket on September 18, 2018. (ECF No. 15).
In light of the foregoing, it is HEREBY ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation issued on August 13, 2018, is converted into a final Memorandum Order. The Court has considered the arguments Lanier made in his Objections de novo and found them lacking. Each of his claims are denied for the reasons set forth in the Report and Recommendation. The Clerk is directed to mark this case closed.
