Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255, petitioner, a federal

inmate, filed this lawsuit seeking habeas relief. This

lawsuit is now before the court on the recommendation of

the United States Magistrate Judge that petitioner’s

request for relief be granted to the extent he seeks to

file an out-of-time appeal in his criminal case, United

States of America v. Willie Fate Jones, Criminal Action

No. 2:04cr097-MHT (M.D. Ala.), and that his request be

denied without prejudice in all other respects. After an

independent and de novo review of the record, the court

which no objections have been filed, should be adopted.

An appropriate judgment will be entered.
