Sterling v. Howard

Filing 5

ORDER: Petitioner is directed to file a declaration within 60 days of the date of this order showing why the petition should not be dismissed as time barred. A declaration form is attached to this order. If Petitioner timely files a declaration, t he Court will review it, and if proper, will order the Respondent to answer. If Petitioner fails to comply with this order within the time allowed, and cannot show good cause to excuse such failure, or if the declaration is insufficient to demonst rate that the petition was timely filed, the Court will deny the petition as time barred. No answer shall be required at this time. Because Petitioner has not at this time made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right, a certi ficate of appealability will not issue. See 28 U.S.C. § 2253. The Court certifies pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that any appeal from this order would not be taken in good faith and therefore in forma pauperis status is denied for the purpose of an appeal. See Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 444-45 (1962). (Signed by Judge Laura Taylor Swain on 8/1/2022) (Attachments: # 1 Attachment - Declaration) (sac)
