CIVIL ACTION NO. 3:11-0574 (Criminal No. 3:09-00071) UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Respondent. MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER This action was referred to the Honorable Cheryl A. Eifert, United States Magistrate Judge, for submission to this Court of proposed findings of fact and recommendation for disposition, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. ' 636(b)(1)(B). The Magistrate Judge has submitted findings of fact and recommended that Movant’s Application Under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 for Writ of Habeas Corpus by a Person in State or Federal Custody (ECF No. 115) be denied; Respondent’s Motions to Dismiss Movant’s Motion Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (ECF Nos. 123 and 124) be granted; and this civil action be dismissed, with prejudice, and removed from the docket of this Court.
