THOMAS LEROY YOUNG, Petitioner, v. WARDEN WHITE, Respondent.
ORDER
WILLIAM T. MOORE, JR. UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT JUDGE
Before the Court is the Magistrate Judge's August 31, 2021, Report and Recommendation (Doc. 6), to which Petitioner has not filed objections. After a careful review of the record, the Report and Recommendation (Doc. 6) is ADOPTED as the Court's opinion in this case. As a result, this action is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to close this case.
The Court reviews de novo a magistrate judge's findings to which a petitioner objects, and the Court reviews for clear error the portions of a report and recommendation to which a petitioner does not object. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); see Merchant v. Nationwide Recovery Serv., Inc., 440 F.Supp.3d 1369, 1371 (N.D.Ga. 2020) (citing Macort v. Prem, Inc., 208 Fed.Appx. 781, 784 (11th Cir. 2006) (per curiam) (outlining the standard of review for report and recommendations)).
Applying the Certificate of Appealability (COA) standards set forth in Brown v. United States, Nos. 407CV085, 403CR001, 2009 WL 307872, at *1 (S.D. Ga. Feb. 9, 2009), the Court discerns no COA-worthy issues at this stage of the litigation, so no COA should issue either. 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c) (1); Rule 11(a) of the Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases in the United States District Courts ("The district court must issue or deny a certificate of appealability when it enters a final order adverse to the applicant.").
SO ORDERED.
