Order Adopting Magistrate Judge’s Report And Recommendation
This case was referred to United States Magistrate Judge Patrick A.
White, consistent with Administrative Order 2003-19 of this Court, for a ruling
on all pre-trial, nondispositive matters and for a report and recommendation
on any dispositive matters. On March 12, 2018, Judge White issued a report,
recommending that Wilmore’s motion to vacate be denied on the merits, and
that the Court deny the motion to amend (ECF No. 41) as futile because the
proposed additional claim is time barred. (Report of Magistrate, ECF No. 42.)
Wilmore filed objections to the report (ECF Nos. 43, 44).
The Court has considered Judge White’s report, Wilmore’s objections, the
record, and the relevant legal authorities. The Court finds Judge White’s report
and recommendation cogent and compelling. The Court affirms and adopts
Judge White’s report and recommendation (ECF No. 41). The Court therefore
denies the motion to vacate (ECF No. 1) and the motion to amend (ECF No.
41). The Court does not issue a certificate of appealability. Finally, the Court
directs the Clerk to close this case. Any pending motions are denied as moot.
Done and ordered at Miami, Florida, on April 12, 2018.
