Smith's Report and Recommendation (DE 147). Judge Smith recommended that the Defendant's motion be denied. (DE 147 at 12.) No objections have been filed as to her recommendation. The Court, after reviewing the Defendant's motion and applicable law, agrees with Judge Smith's Report and Recommendation.

(3) A Certificate of Appealability SHALL NOT ISSUE because the Defendant has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a Constitutional right. See 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c). (4) The Defendant's Rule 60(b)(6) motion (DE 146) is TRANSFERRED to the Sixth Circuit for consideration as a motion for authorization to file a second successive § 2255 motion. (5) A separate judgment shall issue.
