2. The Report and Recommendation (Doc. No. 51) is APPROVED and ADOPTED;

FootNotes
1. As Petitioner has withdrawn Claim 16, he objects only to Judge Hart's dismissal of Claim 6. Petitioner does not raise any new arguments or additional facts in his objections. Rather, he again argues that Claim 6 should not be considered procedurally defaulted because PCRA counsel was ineffective in failing to raise it. As Judge Hart explained in his Report and Recommendation, Petitioner has failed to demonstrate prejudice and thus Martinez v. Ryan, 566 U.S. 1 (2012) is not available to excuse the procedural default.
