ORDER

LISA GODBEY WOOD, Chief District Judge.

After an independent and de novo review of the entire record, the undersigned concurs with the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation, to which Defendant Franklin Gibson ("Gibson") filed Objections. In his Objections, Gibson contends that there is no way that a conflict of interest issue can be waived, which is why Rule 60(b) is the proper vehicle for him to bring his claims. As the Magistrate Judge noted, Gibson's contention that he could not waive a conflict of interest issue is contradicted by the record. In addition, the Magistrate Judge noted that Rule 60(b) does not provide for relief from judgment in a criminal case, and Gibson is not entitled to his requested relief. Gibson's Objections are overruled. The Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation is adopted as the opinion of the Court. Gibson's Motion for Relief from Judgment is DISMISSED. This case shall remain

SO ORDERED.
