Jackson v. Morgenthau et al, No. 1:2007cv02757 - Document 35 (S.D.N.Y. 2009)

Court Description: MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER:#97583 Accordingly, I hereby adopt the thorough and thoughtful R&R in full and dismiss Jackson's habeas petition. Furthermore, because I agree with Judge Katz that Jackson has not made a substantial showing of a deni al of a constitutional right, as required by 28 U.S.C. 2253(c)(2), I decline to issue a certificate of appealability. The Clerk of the Court is directed to close this case. (Signed by Judge Shira A. Scheindlin on 5/29/2009) (jfe) Modified on 6/3/2009 (jab).
