ANDRE VAUGHN WHITE, pro se, Plaintiff, v. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Defendant.
()
ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
The pro se plaintiff, Andre Vaughn White ("White"), has filed a motion under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 to vacate, set aside, or correct his sentence based on ineffective assistance of counsel. The Honorable John S. Kaull, United States Magistrate Judge, has entered a report and recommendation ("R&R"), concluding that White's claim of ineffective assistance lacks merit, and recommending that his motion be denied and dismissed with prejudice. White has not objected to the R&R. See Wright v. Collins, 766 F.2d 841, 845 (4th Cir. 1985) ("[A] party who fails to object to a magistrate's report is barred from appealing the judgment of a district court adopting the magistrate's findings.").
Because no objections have been filed, the Court has reviewed the R&R, and, finding no clear error, ADOPTS the R&R, DENIES White's § 2255 motion, DISMISSES his case WITH PREJUDICE, and DIRECTS the Clerk to enter a separate judgment order.
It is so ORDERED.
The Court directs the Clerk to transmit copies of this Order to counsel of record and to the pro se plaintiff, certified mail, return receipt requested. DATED: March 30, 2015.
