v.
State of New Hampshire
Case No. 17-cv-41-SM
O R D E R
After due consideration of the objection filed, I herewith
approve the Report and Recommendation of Magistrate Judge Andrea
K. Johnstone dated April 17, 2017, for the reasons set forth
therein. 	The Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (document no.
1) is hereby denied for lack of jurisdiction, and petitioner’s
motion to recharacterize his initial filing (document no. 3) is
also denied.
Additionally, finding that the petitioner has failed to
make a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional
right, the court declines to issue a certificate of
appealability. 	See 28 U.S.C.§ 2253(c)(2); Rule 11, Rules
Governing Habeas Corpus Cases Under Section 2254; First Cir. LR
22.0.
