CASE NO.: 1:13-cv-2 (WLS)

ORDER
Petitioner William R. Jackson Jr. moves the Court to reconsider the denial of his
petition for a writ of habeas corpus and certificate of appealability. (Doc. 36.) He apparently
contends that he followed the requisite procedures and that the state and federal courts are
discriminatory. Jackson fails to support these allegations with evidence or argument, and an
independent review of the record shows that his petition was untimely. His motion for
reconsideration is therefore DENIED. 1
Also pending is a Motion for Leave to Appeal in Forma Pauperis. (Doc. 38.) Because the
Court previously denied Jackson a certificate of appealability (Doc. 34), however, his motion
for leave to appeal in forma pauperis is DENIED as moot.
SO ORDERED, this

17th day of January, 2014.
/s/ W. Louis Sands
W. LOUIS SANDS, JUDGE
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

Even though Jackson filed a notice of appeal, the Court retains jurisdiction to deny his motion. Mahone v. Ray,
326 F.3d 1176, 1179–80 (11th Cir. 2003).
