DECISION and ORDER

Petitioner William O'Daniel brought this petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On December 4, 2017, the Honorable David E. Peebles, United States Magistrate Judge, advised by Report-Recommendation that the petition be denied but that a certificate of appealability be issued concerning petitioner's Sixth Amendment choice-of-counsel claim. Petitioner and respondent filed timely objections to the Report-Recommendation, and respondent submitted an additional though untimely response to petitioner's objections.

Based upon a de novo review of the portions of the Report-Recommendation to which petitioner and respondent objected, the Report-Recommendation is adopted in whole. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Rule 10, Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases.

Therefore, it is

ORDERED that

1. The petition for a writ of habeas corpus is DENIED; and

2. A Certificate of Appealability is ISSUED concerning only petitioner's Sixth Amendment choice-of-counsel claim.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
