ORDER

The court has before it Derrick McCreary’s motion to vacate, set aside, or correct the

sentence pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (doc. 4), respondent’s answer (doc. 11), movant’s

reply (doc. 12), and a report and recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge

recommending that the motion be denied (doc 13). Neither party objected to the report and

recommendation and the time for doing so has expired.

After review, we accept the recommended decision of the Magistrate Judge pursuant

to Rule 8(b), Rules Governing § 2255 Cases. The motion to vacate, set aside, or correct the

sentence is denied.

We must issue or deny a certificate of appealability. Rule 11(a), Rules Governing

§ 2255 Cases. Movant has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional

not find the procedural ruling debatable. Moreover, briefing on whether a certificate should

issue would not be helpful. Thus, we deny a certificate of appealability.

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED DENYING movant’s motion to vacate, set aside, or

correct the sentence (doc. 4).

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED DENYING a certificate of appealability.

DATED this 29th day of December, 2009.
