REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION

Convicted of conspiring to commit wire fraud and money laundering, Troy Hardwick moves under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 to have his sentence reduced to time served. Doc. 1. Preliminary review under Rule 4 of the Rules Governing Section 2255 Proceedings shows that his motion must be DENIED for the same reasons set forth in Robinson v. United States, No. CV415-294, doe. 2 (S.D. Ga. Nov. 16, 2015).1 Applying the Certificate of Appealability (COA) standards set forth in Brown v. United States, 2009 WL 307872 at * 1-2 (S.D. Ga. Feb.9, 2009), the Court discerns no COA-worthy issues at this stage of the litigation, so no COA should issue either. 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(1); Rule 11(a) of the Rules Governing Habeas corpus cases Under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 ("The district court must issue or deny a certificate of appealability when it enters a final order adverse to the applicant.") (emphasis added).

SO REPORTED AND RECOMMENDED.

FootNotes


1. The § 2255 motions in Robinson and this case are much more than "me-too" pleas for relief. Other than the names of the movant, the motions are identical.Compare Robinson, doe 5, with doe. 1. Hence, they fail for the same reasons.
