Currently before the Court is the Report and Recommendation of Magistrate Judge

Anderson (Doc. 17) based on Petitioner’s Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (Doc.1) and

his Motion for a New Trial (Doc.11.) Having reviewed the Petition, Motion for a New Trial,

Report and Recommendation, and the Petitioner's Objections to the Report and

Recommendation, and in light of the Court’s finding that Petitioner’s Objections lack merit,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation

(Doc. 17) is ACCEPTED and ADOPTED by the Court. 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Petitioner’s Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus

(Doc. 1) is DENIED and DISMISSED with prejudice.

 1 In addition to the substantive reasons for adopting the Report and

Recommendations, a “Motion for a New Trial” is not the proper vehicle for Petitioner to

challenge his state-court conviction and sentence in this Court. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 2254, 2241.

The aforementioned motion is also duplicative of the Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus and

thus a denial is warranted on that basis as well.

2

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Petitioner’s Motion for a New Trial (Doc. 11.) is

DENIED.
