ORDER ACCEPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
This Court has considered, without hearing, the Magistrate Judge's Report and
Recommendation, ECF No. 53, and 	has 	also 	reviewed 	de novo 	Petitioner’s
objections, ECF No. 54.
Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED:
The report and recommendation, ECF No. 53, is accepted and adopted, over
the Petitioner’s objections, as this Court’s opinion. The Clerk shall enter judgment
stating, “Petitioner’s Rule 60(b) motion to reopen, ECF No. 51, is DENIED and this
matter is DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction because the motion is a successive
§ 2254 habeas petition that was filed without the Eleventh Circuit’s opinion.”
Petitioner’s motion to supplement the record, ECF No. 52, is DENIED as moot.
