ORDER


THIS CAUSE came before the Court upon the Report of the Magistrate Judge regarding Movant Calvin Godwin's Motion to Vacate Sentence [D.E. 1], pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255.

Movant Godwin filed his Motion to Vacate asserting multiple claims of ineffective assistance of counsel [D.E. 1]. The case was referred to the Honorable United States Magistrate Judge Patrick A. White by the Clerk's Order [D.E. 2]. The Magistrate Judge recommended that Movant's motion be denied for failure to allege facts sufficient to show that counsel was deficient or that the movant suffered prejudice therefrom under Strickland v.

The Magistrate Judge issued a Report recommending that the Motion to Vacate be denied [D.E. 19]. Petitioner filed no Objections to the Magistrate Judge's Report.

Accordingly, it is hereby

ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that United States Magistrate Judge White's Report [D.E. 19] is RATIFIED, AFFIRMED and APPROVED in its entirety. It is further

ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that Movant's Amended Motion to Vacate Sentence pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255 [D.E. 1] is DENIED. It is further

ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that this case is CLOSED and any pending motions are denied as MOOT. DONE AND ORDERED in Chambers at Miami, Florida, this 19th day of October, 2010.
