MEMORANDUM OPINION
Defendant Cody Ryan Kizziah (“Defendant”) has filed a pro se motion to vacate his
federal sentence pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255. (Doc.1 1). On December 10, 2013, the magistrate
judge to whom the case was referred for preliminary review entered a report pursuant to 28
U.S.C. § 636(b) recommending that Defendant’s § 2255 motion be denied as time barred, or,
alternatively, on the ground that his claims are without merit. (Doc. 5). No objections have been
filed to the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation.
Having carefully reviewed and considered de novo all the materials in the court file,
including the magistrate judge’s findings and recommendation, the court is of the opinion that
the magistrate judge’s report is due to be and is hereby ADOPTED and his recommendation is
ACCEPTED. Accordingly, Defendant’s § 2255 motion is due to be DENIED. A separate final
order will be entered.
