Case No.: 2:16-cv-00748-RDP-JHE

MEMORANDUM OPINION
On December 8, 2016, the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation was entered
and the parties were allowed therein fourteen (14) days in which to file objections to the
recommendations made by the Magistrate Judge. (Doc. # 11 at 4). No objections were filed.
After careful consideration of the record in this case and the Magistrate Judge’s Report
and Recommendation, the court hereby ADOPTS the Report of the Magistrate Judge. The court
further ACCEPTS the recommendation of the Magistrate Judge that the petition for writ of
habeas corpus be dismissed without prejudice because Petitioner has not received authorization
from the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals to file a second or successive habeas petition. See 28
U.S.C. § 2244(b)(3)(A).
A separate order in accordance with the Memorandum Opinion will be entered.
DONE and ORDERED this December 28, 2016.
