CIVIL ACTION NO. 12-11770
01-30-2013
RICKY JONES, Petitioner, v. DEBRA SCUTT, Respondent.
HONORABLE GEORGE CARAM STEEH
ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR
CERTIFICATE OF APPEALABILITY [DKT. # 12] AS MOOT
This is a habeas case under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Petitioner filed a pro se petition for writ of habeas corpus raising several claims for relief. On December 4, 2012, the Court issued an Opinion and Order dismissing the petition. The Opinion also specifically denied Petitioner a certificate of appealability.
Before the Court is Petitioner's "motion for a certificate of appealability." If it was Petitioner's intention to file this motion in the Sixth Circuit, he filed it in the wrong court. This Court has already determined in the opinion dismissing the petition that Petitioner is not entitled to a certificate of appealability. The motion is therefore DENIED AS MOOT.
SO ORDERED.
