Docket no. 2:16-cr-00063-GZS
ORDERING AFFIRMING RECOMMENDED DECISON
On February 28, 2022, the United States Magistrate Judge filed with the Court his
Recommended Decision (ECF No. 307). On August 11, 2022, Petitioner filed his Objection to the
Recommended Decision (ECF No. 319). 	The Government filed its Response to this Objection
(ECF No. 320) on August 26, 2022.
The Court has reviewed and considered both the Objection, along with the entire record.
Having made a de novo determination of all matters adjudicated by the Magistrate Judge's
Recommended Decision, the Court concurs with the recommendations of the Magistrate Judge for
the reasons set forth in that order. As a result, the Court determines that no further proceedings
are necessary with respect to this Recommended Decision.
It is therefore ORDERED that:
1. 	The Recommended Decision (ECF No. 307) is hereby AFFIRMED.
2. 	An evidentiary hearing is not warranted under Rule 8 of the Rules Governing Section
2255 cases.

3. 	Petitioner’s Motion for habeas relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (ECF No. 286) is
hereby DENIED.
A certificate of appealability pursuant to Rule 11 of the Rules Governing Section 2255
Cases is hereby DENIED because there is no substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional
right within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2).
SO ORDERED.
