ORDER ON OBJECTIONS

BETH BLOOM, District Judge.

THIS CAUSE is before the Court upon Plaintiff Wayne Durham's ("Plaintiff") Objections to Judge Reid's Report and Recommendation ("Objections"), ECF No. [30], at 6-12. On October 9, 2019, Judge Reid issued a Report and Recommendation ("Report"), recommending that the Plaintiff's Motion to Vacate pursuant to 18 U.S.C § 2255 ("Petition") be denied and no certificate of appealability be issued. ECF No. [23]. The Report advised Plaintiff that "[o]bjections to this report may be filed with the District Judge within fourteen days of receipt of a copy of the report." Id. at 21. On October 31, 2019, upon a de novo review of the Report, and in light of the fact that no objections had been received, the Court adopted Judge Reid's Report, dismissed Plaintiff's Petition, denied the certificate of appealability and directed the Clerk of Court to close the case. See ECF No. [24].

The Court has now received Plaintiff's Objections.1 Although the Court did not receive Petitioner's Objections until November 26, 2019, Petitioner indicates that he provided copies of the Objections to prison officials on October 22, 2019 and October 23, 2019, which was within the response deadline imposed by the Report. ECF No. [30], at 1. Pursuant to the prisoner mailbox rule, "a pleading is considered filed by an inmate on the date it was delivered to prison authorities for mailing, which (absent contrary evidence) the court assumes is the date he signed it." Newnam v. McDonough, 2008 WL 539065 (N.D. Fla. Feb. 22, 2008) (citing Washington v. United States, 243 F.3d 1299, 1301 (11th Cir. 2001)). The Eleventh Circuit has held that the prison mailbox rule extends to all complaints and other papers filed by a pro se prisoner, including in the habeas corpus and 42 U.S.C. § 1983 context. See Garvey v. Vaughn, 993 F.2d 776, 783 (11th Cir. 1993) (noting that "the date of filing shall be that of delivery to prison officials of a complaint or other papers destined for district court for the purpose of ascertaining timeliness" (emphasis in original)). Therefore, under the prisoner mailbox rule, and based on the Petitioner's representation of when the Objections were mailed, the Objections were timely made, and the Court will now consider them.

The Court has conducted a de novo review of the portions of the Report to which Plaintiff has objected, in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C), and the remainder of the Report for clear error, and finds that the Objections are without merit and are therefore overruled. Taylor v. Cardiovascular Specialists, P.C., 4 F.Supp.3d 1374, 1377 (N.D. Ga. 2014) (citing United States v. Slay, 714 F.2d 1093, 1095 (11th Cir. 1983)). As an initial matter, the Court notes that Petitioner's Objections are improper because they are further expansions of arguments originally raised in his Petition and supplemental briefing and already considered by the Magistrate Judge.

Specifically, Plaintiff objects to the Report's finding that "Rehaif does not apply retroactively on cases on collateral review," and that the Magistrate Judge erred in making such a finding. ECF No. [30], at 7. The Objections are improper because they merely expand upon and reframe arguments already made and considered by the Magistrate Judge in her Report, or simply disagree with the Report's conclusions. "It is improper for an objecting party to ... submit [ ] papers to a district court which are nothing more than a rehashing of the same arguments and positions taken in the original papers submitted to the Magistrate Judge. Clearly, parties are not to be afforded a `second bite at the apple' when they file objections to a [Report and Recommendations]." Marlite, Inc. v. Eckenrod, No. 10-23641-CIV, 2012 WL 3614212, at *2 (S.D. Fla. Aug. 21, 2012) (quoting Camardo v. Gen. Motors Hourly-Rate Emps. Pension Plan, 806 F.Supp. 380, 382 (W.D.N.Y. 1992)). Moreover, the objections are due to be overruled because the Court disagrees that the Magistrate Judge erred in determining that Rehaif does not apply retroactively cases on collateral review. Indeed, the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals has explicitly held that it does not. See In re Palacios, 931 F.3d 1314, 1315 (11th Cir. 2019) ("Moreover, . . . Rehaif . . . was not made retroactive to cases on collateral review by the Supreme Court.").

In conclusion, the Court finds that Plaintiff's Objections are without merit. Having considered the Report, Plaintiff's Objections, and having made a de novo review of the record, see Williams v. McNeil, 557 F.3d 1287, 1291 (11th Cir. 2009) (citing 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)), the Court finds the Report to be well reasoned and correct. The Court agrees with the analysis in the Report, and even considering Plaintiff's Objections, the Court nonetheless maintains its decision to adopt it.

Accordingly, it is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED as follows:

DONE AND ORDERED.
