STEVEN COHN,

Petitioner,

DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS,

Respondent. __________________________________/

ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS

THIS CAUSE is before the Court upon pro se Petitioner Steven Cohn’s (“Petitioner”) amended petition for habeas corpus, ECF No. [19] (“Amended Petition”), filed pursuant to

, which was previously referred to the Magistrate Judge for a Report and Recommendations (“R&R”) on any dispositive matters. See ECF No. [2]. On September 4, 2019, Judge Reid issued a R&R recommending that the Amended Petition be denied, that a certificate of appealability be denied, and the case be closed. See ECF No. [31]. The R&R advised Petitioner that “[o]bjections to this report may be filed with the district judge within fourteen days of receipt of a copy of the report.”

. To date, Petitioner has filed no objections, nor has he sought additional time to file objections. The Court has nonetheless conducted a de novo review of Magistrate Judge Reid’s R&R and the record, and is otherwise fully advised in the premises. See Williams v. McNeil,

(11th Cir. 2009) (citing

(b)(1)). Upon review, the Court finds Judge Reid’s R&R to be well reasoned and correct. The Court agrees with the analysis in the R&R and concludes that Petitioner’s Amended Petition must be denied for the reasons set forth therein. Case No. 18-cv-60807-BLOOM/Reid

For the foregoing reasons, it is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED as follows: 1. Magistrate Judge Reid’s R&R, ECF No. [31], is ADOPTED; 2. Plaintiff’s Amended Petition, ECF No [19], is DENIED; 3. Acertificate of Appealability is DENIED. 4, The Clerk shall CLOSE this case. DONE AND ORDERED in Chambers at Miami, Florida, on September 27, 2019.
