OPINION

Petitioner filed what is essentially a habeas-corpus

case pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255. This lawsuit is now

before the court on the recommendation of the United

States Magistrate Judge that the habeas-corpus request be

denied because the required permission has not been

obtained from the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals. Also

before the court are petitioner's objections to the

recommendation. After an independent and de novo review

of the record, the court concludes that the objections

should be overruled and the magistrate judge’s

recommendation adopted.

An appropriate judgment will be entered.

DONE, this the 14th day of January, 2013.

 /s/ Myron H. Thompson 

UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
