Although the report and recommendation notified the petitioner of his right to object within fourteen calendar days, the court has not received any objections or other communication from the petitioner. The deadline to object has expired. After careful consideration of the record in this case and the magistrate judge’s report, the court ADOPTS the report and ACCEPTS the recommendation. Consistent with that recommendation, this matter will be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction as an unauthorized second or successive § 2254 petition. A ruling on a certificate of appealability is not required under these circumstances. Osbourne v. Sec’y, Fla. Dep’t of Corr.,
