Summary
finding that abused wife of co-defendant husband did not demonstrate ineffective assistance where mitigating circumstances of her relationship with her spouse were before the court and there was no additional information counsel could have provided, where the government possessed overwhelming evidence of her guilt, and counsel's negotiated plea left her with a much lesser sentence than she would likely have received otherwise

Magistrate Judge Elizabeth P. Deavers
OPINION AND ORDER
On May 18, 2015, the Magistrate Judge issued a Report and Recommendation recommending that the instant motion to vacate, set aside or correct sentence pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255 be dismissed. On June 5, 2015, the Court re-mailed a copy of the Report and Recommendation to Petitioner at a different institution, allowed an additional fourteen days for her to object, and directed her to update her address. Although the parties were advised of the right to object to the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation, and of the consequences of failing to do so, no objections have been filed. Further, Petitioner has failed to keep the Court apprised of her current whereabouts as instructed to do. (Order, ECF No. 89.)
The Report and Recommendation is ADOPTED and AFFIRMED. Petitioner's Motion is DENIED. This action is hereby DISMISSED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
