ORDER

On February 17, 2016, the Magistrate Judge filed a Recommendation in this 

case to which no timely objections have been filed. (Doc. # 2.) In the 

Recommendation, the Magistrate Judge found that this is the second petition 

Johnson has filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 attacking his convictions and sentence in 

Criminal Case No. 3:08cr138-MEF. Johnson failed to acquire the requisite 

certification from the Eleventh Circuit authorizing this court to consider a 

successive § 2255 petition. Accordingly, this court lacks jurisdiction to consider 

the merits of the instant motion.

Upon an independent review of the file in this case and upon consideration 

of the Recommendation, it is ORDERED that the Recommendation (Doc. # 2) is 

ADOPTED and this case is DISMISSED without prejudice.

A separate final judgment will be entered.
