ORDER
WILLIAM T. MOORE, JR., District Judge.
Before the Court is the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation (Doc. 8), to which objections have been filed (Doc. 9; Doc. 10). In his objections, Petitioner simply reargues his initial claims that have been fully considered by the Magistrate Judge. After careful consideration, the Court wholly agrees with the report and recommendation. As a result, the report and recommendation is ADOPTED as the Court's opinion in this case and Petitioner's 28 U.S.C. § 2255 Petition is DISMISSED.1 In addition, Petitioner is not entitled to a Certificate of Appealability, rendering moot any request to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal. The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to close this case.
SO ORDERED.
FootNotes
1. Petitioner has also filed a Motion to Appoint Counsel (Doc. 2) and a Motion to Request Additional Pages (Doc. 3). In his Motion to Request Additional Pages, Petitioner seeks to "confirm that it's permissible . . . to file additional pages with my [§] 2255." (Doc. 3.) Because the Court has already considered the entirety of Petitioner's 28 U.S.C. §2255 motion, Petitioner's request is GRANTED.
In his Motion to Appoint Counsel, Petitioner requests that the Court appoint counsel to assist him in this case because the case is "complex" and he "has a very limited knowledge of the law." (Doc. 2.) Pursuant to the Criminal Justice Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3006A(2), a Court may appoint counsel in a habeas proceeding "when the interests of justice so require." In this case, the Court can identify no discernible reason as to why Petitioner would need the assistance of counsel at this time. As a result, Petitioner's Motion to Appoint Counsel (Doc. 2) is DENIED.
