United States Second Circuit

Where the district court denied petitioner's section 2255 habeas corpus petition in a one-sentence order adopting the reasons stated in the government's brief, any defect in that decision was cured by the order resolving petitioner's motion for reconsideration, which sufficiently demonstrated that the district court considered all contentions and found them to be without merit.
