IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF GEORGIA
WAYCROSS DIVISION

FRANKLIN L WILLIAMS,
Petitioner,
CIVIL ACTION NO.: CV514-007

vs.

WILLIAM BECHTOLD, Warden,

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 asserts that
he has filed as many motions pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255 as he has because this
Court will not allow him to be heard. Contrary to this assertion, and as the Magistrate

Judge noted, Williams' first section 2255 motion was denied on the merits. (Doc. No. 4,

p. 2). Williams filed another section 2255 motion, which was dismissed as successive.
(Id. at pp. 2-3). Simply because Williams failed to include all of his grounds for relief in

his first § 2255 does not mean that this Court erred in dismissing his subsequent filings
as second or successive motions. Nor does this mean that Williams should continue

inundating this Court with his filings which raise no new issues of law or fact with which
to challenge his federal conviction.

Williams' Objections are overruled.

The Magistrate Judge's Report and

Recommendation is adopted as the opinion of the Court. Williams' petition for writ of
habeas corpus, filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241, is DISMISSED. The Clerk of Court

is directed to enter the appropriate judgment of dismissal.

SO ORDERED, this ^Z^cfav of

^^^^zf" ,2014.
