LAMAR ALEXANDER CARTER, Petitioner, v. RANDEE REWERTS, Respondent.
ORDER DENYING PETITIONER'S MOTION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPEALABILITY (ECF NO. 20)
TERRENCE G. BERG UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
The Court previously denied Petitioner Lamar Alexander Carter's application for a writ of habeas corpus and his motion for release from state prison on bond. See generally Dismissal Order, ECF No. 15. In its prior Order, the Court also declined to issue a certificate of appealability. Id. at PageID.1719-20. Despite that, Petitioner Carter again asks the Court to issue a certificate of appealability.
Carter argues that the issues raised in his original petition are “substantial [and] worthy of appellate consideration.” Mot. for Cert. of Appealability, ECF No. 20, PageID.1729-30. The Court has already concluded that Petitioner Carter has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right-as is required by 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2) before a certificate of appealability may be issued. Petitioner Carter's latest motion does not change the Court's earlier conclusions.
CONCLUSION
For the foregoing reasons, Petitioner's Motion for a Certificate of Appealability (ECF No. 20) is DENIED.
SO ORDERED.
