Richmond v. Nevada Attorney General

Filing 12

ORDER Petition for writ of habeas corpus, as amended, shall be DISMISSED without prejudice. 7 Motion for Leave to File Excess Pages, 8 Motion to Raise Copy Credit Limit, and 11 Motion for Directed Verdict are DENIED. 9 Motion for Clari fication is GRANTED only to limited extent that the Court confirms that #5 was filed. Certificate of appealability is DENIED. The order of dismissal also certifies to the Court of Appeals that an appeal would not be ta ken in good faith, over and above denying a certificate of appealability. Clerk shall serve copy upon AG Catherine Cortez-Masto (service completed 10/3/12). No response required from respondents in this matter other than to respond to orders of any reviewing court. Clerk shall enter judgment accordingly. Case terminated. Signed by Judge Howard D. McKibben on 10/3/12. (Copies have been distributed pursuant to the NEF - JC)
