Taylor v. Tennessee

Filing 26

ORDER: For the reasons explained more fully in the memorandum entered contemporaneously herewith, the respondent's motion to dismiss Doc. No. 21 is hereby GRANTED for failure to exhaust state court remedies. The petitioner's "Motion Grant for Relief" Doc. No. 24 is hereby DENIED. Accordingly, the petition is DENIED, and this action is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE to refile once the petitioner has exhausted his state court remedies. The dismissal also is without prejudi ce with regard to the petitioner's ability to refile actions under 28 U.S.C. § 2241. In this case, reasonable jurists cannot conclude that the court abused its discretion in granting respondent's motion to dismiss. Thus, the court DEN IES a certificate of appealability. This order constitutes final judgment in the action. Signed by Senior Judge John T. Nixon on 7/1/15.
