Date Filed	Document Text
September 23, 2020	Filing 12 OPINION AND ORDER denying 1 Motion to Vacate, Set Aside or Correct Sentence (§ 2255) (Related Criminal Number 15-113). The allegations of the Petitioner are "self-serving" at best as they lack a logical explanation or evidence a s to the actual request to file an appeal upon a substantially lowered sentence. Thus, the § 2255 Petition for ineffective assistance of counsel due to counsel's alleged failure to file a notice of appeal is insufficient and therefore, DENIED. Judgment of dismissal is to be entered accordingly. Signed by Judge Daniel R. Dominguez on 9/23/2020. (EA)
