ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
THIS CAUSE comes before the Court on Magistrate Judge Lisette Reid’s Report and
Recommendation (DE 10) (“Report”) regarding Movant Steven Snipe’s Motion to Vacate under
28 U.S.C. §2255. The Report was entered on October 9, 2020. No objections have been filed,
and the deadline to do so expired on October 23, 2020. Upon consideration of the Report, I
agree with Judge Reid’s reasoning and conclusions.

Accordingly, it is ORDERED AND

ADJUDGED that:
(1) Magistrate Judge Reid’s Report (DE 10) is ADOPTED.
(2) Steven Snipe’s Amended Motion to Vacate under 28 U.S.C. §2255 (DE 8) is
DENIED.
(3) I have considered the standard set forth in 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2) and conclude that
movant cannot make the requisite showing. As a result, no certificate of appealability
shall issue.
