OPINION AND ORDER DENYING THE MOTION TO
RE-HEAR PETITION AND ORDER AND ANY OTHER RELIEF
(DKT. # 26)
On May 31, 2018, this Court denied petitioner’s habeas application
brought pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, denied petitioner a certificate of
appealability, but granted him leave to appeal in forma pauperis. Bullard v.
Jackson, No. 2:14-CV-12252, 2018 WL 2441792 (E.D. Mich. May 31,
2018). The United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit
subsequently denied petitioner’s application for a certificate of
appealability and dismissed the appeal. Bullard v. Jackson, No. 18-1735,
2018 WL 4735626 (6th Cir. Sept. 19, 2018).
Pending before the Court is petitioner’s “Motion To Re-hear Opinion
and Order And Any Other Relief.” Petitioner requests this Court to issue a
1

certificate of appealability on his claims. See Dkt. # 26, Pg Id 1835.
The Sixth Circuit denied petitioner a certificate of appealability and
dismissed petitioner’s appeal, thus, the motion for a certificate of
appealability will be denied as moot. See Woodberry v. Bruce, 203 F.
App’x 186, 189 (10th Cir. 2006). The Sixth Circuit’s denial of petitioner’s
motion for a certificate of appealability and the dismissal of petitioner’s
prior appeal divested this Court of any power to grant petitioner a
certificate of appealability on the issues he previously appealed and lost
on before the Sixth Circuit. Id.
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED That the Motion To Re-hear Opinion And
Order and Any Other Relief (Dkt. # 26) is DENIED.
