292). The Recommended Decision calls for the dismissal without prejudice of Petitioner’s

§ 2255 Motion due to the pendency of his direct appeal.         Petitioner opposes the

recommendation. Pet.’s Obj. (ECF No. 296).

      I have reviewed and considered the Recommended Decision and the Objection,

together with the entire record; I have made a de novo determination of all matters

adjudicated by the Recommended Decision; and I concur with the recommendations of the

United States Magistrate Judge for the reasons set forth in the Recommended Decision,

and determine that no further proceeding is necessary.

      It is therefore ORDERED that the Recommended Decision of the Magistrate Judge

is hereby AFFIRMED and ADOPTED.

       The motion for habeas relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 is DISMISSED WITHOUT

PREJUDICE and without an evidentiary hearing.            It is further ORDERED that no

certificate of appealability will issue from this Court because the Petitioner has not made a

substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right within the meaning of 28

U.S.C.A. § 2253(c)(2).

       SO ORDERED.

       Dated this 21st day of November, 2025
