ORDER
LETA A. TRAUGER, District Judge.
James R. Smith, a federal prisoner incarcerated at FCI Yazoo City Low, has filed a pro se motion under 28 U.S.C. § 2255, challenging a conviction and sentence issued by this court in December 2012.
The movant's motion to expand the record (ECF No. 22) is GRANTED and the court has considered the documents submitted by the movant with his reply brief in ruling on the motion.
Nonetheless, as explained in the accompanying Memorandum Opinion, the court finds that the movant is not entitled to relief. Accordingly, the motion (ECF No. 1) is hereby DENIED and this matter is DISMISSED.
Because the court finds that the issues raised in Mr. Smith's motion do not merit further attention, the court DENIES a COA. The movant may, however, seek a COA directly from the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals.
It is so ORDERED.
This is a final order for purposes of Fed. R. Civ. P. 58.
