v.
JOHN E. WETZEL, et al.
Respondents.

ORDER
AND NOW, this 17th day of March 2017, upon consideration of Petitioner’s Motion for
the Court to Reconsider its Order dated August 18, 2014 (Doc. No. 45), and Petitioner’s Motion
to Proceed In Forma Pauperis (Doc. No. 46), it is ORDERED as follows:
1. Petitioner’s Motion for the Court to Reconsider (Doc. No. 45) is DENIED.
2. The Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus (Doc. Nos. 1, 3) is DENIED.
3. An Application for a Certificate of Appealability (Doc. No. 27) is DENIED because,
based on the analysis contained in Magistrate Judge Wells’s Report and
Recommendation, as approved and adopted by this Court, and for reasons stated in this
Court’s Opinion issued this day on Petitioner’s Motion for Reconsideration, a reasonable
jurist could not conclude that the Court is incorrect in denying and dismissing the
petition.
4. Petitioner’s Motion to Proceed In Forma Pauperis (Doc. No. 46) is DENIED AS MOOT.
BY THE COURT:
