This matter is before the Court upon Magi strate Judge Hanly A. Ingram’s Report 
and Recommendation (“R&R”) (Doc. # 124), wherein he recommends that Defendant 
Richard Crawford’s Motion to Vacate under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (Doc. # 99) be denied.  No 
objections having been filed and the time to do so having now expired, the R&R is ripe 
for the Court’s consideration.   Having reviewed the Magi strate Judge’s thorough R&R, 
the Court concludes that it is sound in all respects and agrees that  Defendant’s Motion 
should be denied.  Accordingly,  
IT IS ORDERED as follows:  
(1) The Report and Recommendation of th e United States Magistrate Judge 
(Doc. # 124) be, and hereby is, adopted in full as the findings of fact and conclusions of 
law of the Court;  
(2) Defendant Crawford’s Motion to Vaca te pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (Doc. 
# 99) is denied;

(3) For the reasons set forth in the Report and Recommendation of the United 
States Magistrate Judge, the Court determines  there would be no arguable merit for an 
appeal in this matter and, therefore, no certificate of appealability shall issue; and  
(4) This matter is hereby dismissed with pr ejudice and stricken  from the 
Court’s active docket.  
The Court will enter a separate Judgment contemporaneously with this Order.  
This 2nd day of February, 2021.
