OPINION AND ORDER

THOMAS THRASH JR., District Judge

This is a pro se habeas corpus action by a federal prisoner serving a 30 year drug trafficking sentence. It is before the Court on the Report and Recommendation [Doc. 4] of the Magistrate Judge recommending that the Petition be dismissed on the grounds that it is a successive 28 U.S.C. § 2255 action. The Petitioner filed previous unsuccessful § 2255 actions in the Southern District of Illinois where he was convicted. The Magistrate Judge was clearly correct in finding that the Petitioner has not shown that his remedy under § 2255 was "inadequate or ineffective."See Wofford v. Scott, 177 F.3d 1236, 1243 (11^th Cir. 1999). The Court approves and adopts the Report and Recommendation as the judgment of the Court. This action is DISMISSED.

SO ORDERED.
