Petitioner,

TERRY RUSSELL,
Respondent.
Case No. 4:11 CV 1455 RWS
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before me on petitioner Marvin Cotton’s motion for reconsideration or, in
the alternative, for a certificate of appealability [#22]. On September 29, 2014, I overruled
Cotton’s objections to the Report and Recommendation and denied Cotton’s petition for a writ of
habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Cotton’s present motion presents no new factual or legal
arguments that convince me my prior decision was in error, so it will be denied. To the extent
Cotton seeks a certificate of appealability, that request is denied as moot as I have already denied
him a certificate of appealability in the Memorandum and Order and Judgment dated September
29, 2014.
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that petitioner’s motion for certificate of appealability and
reconsideration [#22] is denied.
