ORDER AFFIRMING THE
RECOMMENDED DECISION OF THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE
The United States Magistrate Judge filed with the Court on September 10, 2018, his
Recommended Decision (ECF No. 183). 	Petitioner filed his Objection to the Recommended
Decision (ECF No. 184) on September 24, 2018. 	Respondent filed its Response to Petitioner’s

I have reviewed and considered the Magistrate Judge's Recommended Decision, together
with the entire record; I have made a de novo determination of all matters adjudicated by the
Magistrate Judge's Recommended Decision; and I concur with the recommendations of the United
States Magistrate Judge for the reasons set forth in his Recommended Decision, and determine
that no further proceeding is necessary.
1. 	It is therefore ORDERED that the Recommended Decision of the Magistrate Judge
is hereby AFFIRMED.
2. 	It is hereby ORDERED that an evidentiary hearing is not warranted under Rule 8
of the Rules Governing Section 2255 cases.
