HONORABLE
UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR CERTIFICATE OF APPEALABILITY
This is a case under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 in which Petitioner challenged the validity of his bank robbery conviction. The Court dismissed the petition on May 3, 2011. Doc. 3. Petitioner then filed a motion for reconsideration, Doc. 5, and a motion for clarification. Doc. 6. The Court denied the motions. Doc. 7. Petitioner filed a "Motion for a Certificate of Appealability or in the Alternative Notice of Appeal." Doc. 8.
A certificate of appealability (COA) is not needed to appeal the dismissal of a habeas petition filed under § 2241, see Witham v. United States, 355 F.3d 501, 504 (6th Cir. 2004). Accordingly, the motion for a COA is DENIED.
SO ORDERED.
