Respondent. )

ORDER

This case is before the court on the Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge (Doc. #7),

entered on July 5, 2012, the Objections (Doc. #8) filed by Petitioner on July 23, 2012, and a

second Objection (Doc. #9), filed by the Petitioner on August 24, 2012. 

After an independent evaluation and de novo review of this case, the court agrees with

the Recommendation that this § 2255 motion should be denied for the reason that the Petitioner

has failed to obtain the requisite order from the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals authorizing

this court to consider a successive § 2255 motion. Therefore, the court finds the objections to be

without merit, and they are hereby OVERRULED. The court ADOPTS the Recommendation of

the Magistrate Judge, and it is hereby

ORDERED that the Petitioner’s § 2255 motion is DENIED, and this case is DISMISSED

for failure to obtain the requisite order from the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals authorizing

this court to consider a successive § 2255 motion.

DONE this 19th day of September, 2012.
