How Judge Fuller decides

Procedural preferences
Where removal is improper he recommends remanding the action to the state court from which it came.
“Magistrate Judge J. Clay Fuller's Final Report and Recommendation [3] is ADOPTED. ... this action is REMANDED to the Magistrate Court of Gwinnett County, Georgia.”
Cautions
On a 28 U.S.C. 2255 motion to vacate sentence Fuller recommends denial and the district court denies a certificate of appealability.
