The Indictment consisted of four counts. Case: 3:12-cr-00002-RAM-RM Document #: 169 Filed: 06/08/17 Page 1 of 3 United States v. Browne Crim. No. 12-02 Order Count I alleged Hobbs Act Conspiracy. Count II alleged Bank Robbery. Counts III and IV alleged Possession of a Firearm During the Commission of a Crime of Violence. Browne was charged with Counts I and II of the indictment. A jury trial in this matter commenced on March 26, 2012. On March 28, 2012, the jury convicted Thomas, Fessale, and Browne on all counts. On August 7, 2012, a sentencing hearing was held in this matter. At the end of the hearing, the Court sentenced Browne to a term of 165 months. Browne appealed. The Third Circuit affirmed Browne’s conviction in a May 24, 2013, opinion. On June 6, 2014, Browne filed a motion pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255 to vacate, set aside, or correct his sentence (the “motion”). In the motion, Browne raises eleven grounds for post- conviction relief. The Court referred the motion to the Magistrate Judge for a report and recommendation. The Magistrate Judge recommends that the motion be denied. Having examined the record and applying a de novo standard of review, the Court will adopt the Magistrate Judge’s recommendation. The premises considered, it is hereby Case: 3:12-cr-00002-RAM-RM Document #: 169 Filed: 06/08/17 Page 2 of 3 United States v. Browne Crim. No. 12-02 Order ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge is ADOPTED; and it is further ORDERED that Browne’s motion to vacate is DENIED. S\__________________ CURTIS V.
