JOE NATHAN SCOTT, JR.,

Case No. 3:15-cv-00231-RCJ-VPC

10

Petitioner,

ORDER

v.
11
RENEE BAKER, et al.,
12
Respondents.

14

On August 23, 2016, this court dismissed petitioner Joe Nathan Scott, Jr.’s pro se

15

petition for a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 as time barred (ECF No. 19).

16

Judgment was entered (ECF No. 20). Thereafter, Scott filed a motion for request of

17

production of documents with this court (ECF No. 21), and he filed a notice of appeal with

18

the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals (ECF No. 22). On January 27, 2017, the Ninth Circuit

19

Court of Appeals denied a certificate of appealability (ECF No. 26). In the motion for

20

production of documents, Scott states that he needed respondents to provide copies of

21

certain filings in order to proceed with his appeal. The case is closed, and this court lacks

22

jurisdiction to consider the motion. Moreover, the motion would be moot because the

23

Ninth Circuit denied a certificate of appealability.

24

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that petitioner’s motion for production of

25

documents (ECF No. 21) is DENIED.

26

DATED: 12 June 2017.
