Filing 15

ORDER denying 12 Motion for Certificate of Appealability as moot. Signed by District Judge George Caram Steeh (MBea)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION

RICKY JONES,
Petitioner,

CIVIL ACTION NO. 12-11770
HONORABLE GEORGE CARAM STEEH

v.
DEBRA SCUTT,
Respondent.
/
ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR
CERTIFICATE OF APPEALABILITY [DKT. # 12] AS MOOT
This is a habeas case under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Petitioner filed a pro se petition
for writ of habeas corpus raising several claims for relief. On December 4, 2012, the
Court issued an Opinion and Order dismissing the petition. The Opinion also
specifically denied Petitioner a certificate of appealability.
Before the Court is Petitioner's "motion for a certificate of appealability." If it was
Petitioner's intention to file this motion in the Sixth Circuit, he filed it in the wrong court.
This Court has already determined in the opinion dismissing the petition that Petitioner
is not entitled to a certificate of appealability. The motion is therefore DENIED AS
MOOT.
SO ORDERED.
Dated: January 30, 2013
