MEMORANDUM OPINION

This is a habeas corpus petition. The prior denial of the petition was vacated by the

Eleventh Circuit and remanded with instructions for the court “to make explicit its consideration

of the trial record” on certain issues. After a thorough review of the trial record, the magistrate 1

judge entered a report and recommendation recommending that the respondent’s motion for

summary judgment be granted and the action dismissed. Plaintiff filed objections. The court has

considered the entire file in this action, including the Eleventh Circuit’s Opinion, Report and

Recommendation, transcript excerpts, and the petitioner’s objections to the Report and

Recommendation, and has reached an independent conclusion that the Report and

Recommendation are due to be adopted and approved. 

Those issues to be reviewed are: “the admission of a victim’s out-of-court statement, whether the trial court

1

erroneously denied the judgment of acquittal motion, whether trial counsel was ineffective in challenging the credibility

of two state witnesses and during closing argument, and whether appellate counsel was ineffective for failing to raise a

claim of ineffective assistance of trial counsel.” Williams v. Allen, 324 Fed. Appx. 756, 759 (11th Cir. 2009).
