Petitioner,

Civil No. 2:16-cv-12910
Hon. George Caram Steeh

v.
JEFFREY WOODS,
Respondent.
/
ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR CERTIFICATE OF
APPEALABILITY AND APPLICATION TO PROCEED ON
APPEAL IN FORMA PAUPERIS AS MOOT [Dkts. 14 and 15]
This is a habeas case under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Petitioner filed a pro se
petition for writ of habeas corpus raising multiple claims for relief. On May 2,
2017, the Court issued an Opinion and Order denying the petition. The
Opinion also specifically denied Petitioner a certificate of appealability and
permission to appeal in forma pauperis.
Before the Court are Petitioner’s motion for a certificate of appealability
and application to proceed on appeal without prepaying fees or costs. (Dkts.
14 and 15). This Court has already determined in the opinion denying the
petition that Petitioner is not entitled to a certificate of appealability or to
proceed on appeal in forma pauperis. He offers no new arguments as to why
-1-

a certificate of appealability or permission to proceed on appeal in forma
pauperis are warranted. The motions are therefore denied as moot.
SO ORDERED.
Dated: June 15, 2017
