No. 12-cv-15666
Hon. Gerald E. Rosen

Respondent.
_____________________________/
ORDER DENYING PETITIONER’S MOTION
FOR RELIEF FROM JUDGMENT
At a session of said Court, held in
the U.S. Courthouse, Detroit, Michigan
on July 13 2015
PRESENT: Honorable Gerald E. Rosen
United States District Chief Judge
This matter is presently before the Court on the Motion for Relief from Judgment
filed by habeas corpus petitioner Terence Steven Bryant. The Court transferred Bryant’s
habeas corpus petition as a second or successive petition to the Sixth Circuit Court of
Appeals on January 14, 2013 pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2244(b)(3)(A). The Sixth Circuit
denied Bryant permission to file a second or successive petition on August 9, 2013. As
Petitioner’s second or successive petition was transferred to the Court of Appeals, no
Judgment was ever entered by this Court. And, as this Court is inferior to the Circuit
Court of Appeals, it has no jurisdiction to grant relief from the orders or judgments of
that court. If Petitioner wishes to obtain relief from the Sixth Circuit’s decision, a motion
for relief from judgment should be directed to the Court of Appeals.
For these reasons,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Petitioner’s Motion for Relief from Judgment
[Dkt. # 11] is DENIED.

Dated: July 13, 2015
I hereby certify that a copy of the foregoing document was served upon the parties and/or
counsel of record on July 13, 2015, by electronic and/or ordinary mail.
