CIVIL ACTION NO.: CV513-112

V.

RICHARD E. CURRIE,
Respondent.

ORDER

After an independent and de novo review of the entire record, the undersigned
concurs with the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation, to which Petitioner
Franklin Williams ('Williams") filed Objections. In his Objections, Williams states that he
is factually innocent of the offenses for which he was convicted, he is suffering from a
fundamental miscarriage of justice, and the savings clause (presumably contained in 28
U.S.C. § 2255(e)) is ineffective and inadequate to challenge the legality of his detention.
Williams' Objections offer nothing more or different than what he stated in his initial
filings.
Williams' Objections are without merit and are overruled.

The Magistrate

Judge's Report and Recommendation is adopted as the opinion of the Court. Williams'

Williams'Motion for Summary Judgment is DISMISSED as moot. The Clerk of Court is
directed to enter the appropriate judgment of dinhissal.
