ORDER AFFIRMING RECOMMENDED DECISION
OF THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE
On October 8, 2025, the United States Magistrate Judge filed with the Court his
Recommended Decision (ECF No. 79) on Defendant’s pro se Motion to Set Aside, or
Correct Sentence (2255) (ECF No. 61).
The Defendant filed his Objection to the Recommended Decision (ECF No. 80) on
October 27, 2025. 	I have reviewed and considered the Recommended Decision and
Objection, together with the entire record; I have made a de novo determination of all
matters 	adjudicated 	by 	the 	Recommended 	Decision; 	and 	I 	concur 	with 	the
recommendations of the United States Magistrate Judge for the reasons set forth in the
Recommended Decision, and determine that no further proceeding is necessary.
It is therefore ORDERED that the Recommended Decision of the Magistrate Judge
(ECF No. 79) is hereby AFFIRMED and ADOPTED.
The motion for habeas relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (ECF No. 61) is DENIED and
DISMISSED without an evidentiary hearing.

right within the meaning of 28 U.S.C.A. § 2253(c)(2).
