Tackett v. USA Doc. 2 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF OHIO EASTERN DIVISION STEVEN R. TACKETT, CASE NO. 2:13-CV-506 CRIM. NO. 2:10-CR-140 JUDGE GREGORY L. FROST Magistrate Judge Elizabeth A. Preston Deavers Petitioner, v. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Respondent. OPINION AND ORDER On November 21, 2014, the Magistrate Judge issued a Report and Recommendation recommending that the Court deny Petitioner’s motion to vacate, set aside, or correct his sentence pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255 and then dismiss this action. (ECF No. 103.) Petitioner has filed objections to the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation. (ECF No. 106.) Given the substance of the objections, their disposition would be adverse to Petitioner regardless of any response by Respondent. The Court therefore shall act upon the objections in advance of the scheduled non-oral hearing date. (ECF No. 107.) Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b), this Court has conducted a de novo review. That review indicates that Petitioner’s objections simply raise all of the same arguments he previously presented. Accordingly, for the reasons correctly detailed in the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation and incorporated herein by reference, the Court OVERRULES Petitioner’s Objection (ECF No. 106) and ADOPTS and AFFIRMS the Report and Recommendation (ECF No. 103). This Court therefore DENIES Petitioner’s request for an evidentiary hearing and his motion (ECF No. 49). This action is hereby DISMISSED. The Clerk shall enter judgment 1 Dockets.Justia.com accordingly and terminate this case on the docket records of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, Eastern Division. IT IS SO ORDERED. /s/ Gregory L. Frost GREGORY L. FROST UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE 2
