3. There is no probable cause to issue a certificate of appealability.

FootNotes
1. The petitioner filed several objections to the Report and Recommendation. These objections simply rehash the basis for petitioner's habeas claims without explaining what about the magistrate judge's recommendation is legally erroneous or objectionable. The Report and Recommendation fairly, accurately, and thoroughly analyzes the petitioner's request for relief. As Judge Rueter has explained, the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act (AEDPA) prevents this court from doing a merits review of the petitioner's exhausted claims. The petitioner's remaining claims were procedurally defaulted and not excused. The procedural default bars review of these claims.
