Date Filed Document Text
July 18, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 7 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Rebecca R. Pallmeyer: The court stands by its conclusion that there was no basis for challenge to the charge of extortion in this case, and that counsel was not ineffective in failing to mount such a challenge--prior to, during, or after plea negotiations.

June 17, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 4 ORDER: De La Cruz's claim of ineffective assistance of counsel is frivolous. His petition for relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 2255 [ #1 , #3 ] is denied, and this case is dismissed. Because reasonable jurists could not "debate whether... the petition should have been resolved in a different manner," Resendez v. Knight, 653 F.3d 445, 446 (7th Cir. 2011), the court declines to issue a certificate of appealability. Judgment will enter in favor of the Respondent. Signed by the Honorable Rebecca R. Pallmeyer on 6/17/2019. Mailed notice. (bg, )
