MEMORANDUM OF OPINION

The magistrate judge filed a report and recommendation on April 10, 2006,

recommending that the petition of Wayne Biggins, filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255,

be DISMISSED as a second or successive petition over which the court has no

jurisdiction. Alternatively the magistrate judge recommended that the § 2255 motion

be DENIED as the Supreme Court’s Booker, Blakely and Apprendi decisions are not

to be applied retroactively to a case on collateral review. Objections were filed by

petitioner on April 24, 2006.

Having carefully reviewed and considered de novo all the materials in the court

filed by petitioner, the Court is of the opinion that the magistrate judge’s findings are

due to be ADOPTED, and his recommendation ACCEPTED. Accordingly, the
