Rohn M. Weatherly v. Director, TDCJ-CID

Summary

The United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas adopted the magistrate judge’s recommendation to deny Rohn M. Weatherly’s petition for a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. The court also denied a certificate of appealability and directed that final judgment be entered consistent with the recommendation.

Holdings

1. The district court adopted the magistrate judge's findings of fact and conclusions of law and denied the § 2254 petition.
2. A certificate of appealability was denied because Weatherly failed to make a sufficient showing that the issues were debatable among jurists of reason or that the court's procedural ruling was incorrect.

Questions Presented

1. Whether the district court should adopt the magistrate judge's report and recommendation denying Weatherly's § 2254 habeas petition.
2. Whether Weatherly made the showing required for issuance of a certificate of appealability.
