MARSHALL L. FISHER and THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
OF THE STATE OF MISSISSIPPI

RESPONDENTS

ORDER DENYING CERTIFICATE OF APPEALABILITY
Before the Court is the petitioner’s motion for a certificate of appealability (“COA”) from
the denial of his federal habeas petition. Doc. # 24. The Court denied a COA at the time it
entered a final judgment in this matter. See Doc. #s 20, 21. Petitioner presents nothing in the
instant motion that warrants a departure from the Court’s prior ruling.1 Accordingly, the
petitioner’s motion [24] for a COA is DENIED.
SO ORDERED, this the 20th day of October, 2020.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
NORTHERN DISTRICT OF MISSISSIPPI

 The Court further notes that the instant motion was filed more than four years after entry of final judgment in this
case. Moreover, the petitioner now appears to assert a claim for ineffective assistance of counsel, a claim which he
did not raise in the aforementioned federal habeas petition.
