ORDER

This is a criminal action. It is before the Court on the Report and Recommendation [Doc. 135] of the Magistrate Judge recommending denying the Defendant's Motion to Vacate Sentence [Doc. 125]. In her Objections to the Report and Recommendation, the Defendant argues that her trial attorney rendered ineffective assistance of counsel. The evidence at trial was overwhelming that the Defendant was running a massive fraudulent tax scheme. The Defendant has not shown that her trial attorney was deficient in any way in not presenting any of the evidence or witnesses relied upon by the Defendant in her Objections. Nor has she shown that any of these facts would have led to a different result at her trial. The Court approves and adopts the Report and Recommendation as the judgment of the Court. The Defendant's Motion to Vacate Sentence [Doc. 125] is DENIED. No Certificate of Appealability will be issued.

SO ORDERED.
