In a Report and Recommendation dated December 3, 2009, Magistrate Judge Theodore H. Katz recommended that the petition for a writ of habeas corpus be denied and this action be dismissed. To date, no objections have been received from petitioner. Accordingly,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

4. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a) the Court certifies that any appeal from this Order would not be taken in good faith.
