Date Filed Document Text
September 9, 2020 Filing 7 CLERK'S JUDGMENT: ORDERED and ADJUDGED that Petitioner's August 3, 2020 Petition filed under case number 20-CV-3920 is dismissed without prejudice to the claims pending in case number 20-CV-1442; that a certificate of appealability shall not issue, See 28 U.S.C. 2253; that pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1915(a)(3), any appeal from this Order would not be taken in good faith; and that in forma pauperis status is denied for purpose of an appeal. Coppedge v. United States , 369 U.S. 438, 44445 (1962). Ordered by Jalitza Poveda, Deputy Clerk on behalf of Douglas C. Palmer, Clerk of Court on 9/9/2020. (Tavarez, Jennifer)
September 8, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 6 ORDER: The Clerk of the Court is respectfully requested to enter judgment and close this case and to mail a copy of this Memorandum and Order to Petitioner and to make a notation of mailing in the docket. The Clerk is also requested to send a copy of the docket sheet in 20-CV-1442. Petitioner is denied a certificate of appealability, as he has failed to make a "substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right." 28 U.S.C. 2253(c)(2); see Middleton v. Attys Gen., 396 F.3d 207, 209 (2d Cir. 2005) (denying certificate of appealability where petitioner has not shown that "reasonable jurists could debate whether the petition should have been resolved in a different manner or that the issues presented were adequate to deserve encouragement to proceed further" (internal quotation marks and citation omitted)). Additionally, the Court certifies pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1915(a)(3) that any appeal from this Order would not be taken in good faith, and, therefore, in forma pauperis status is denied for purpose of an appeal. Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 444-45 (1962). So Ordered by Judge William F. Kuntz, II on 9/8/2020. (Love, Alexis)
August 25, 2020 Filing 5 Case transferred in from District of New York Western; Case Number 1:20-cv-01037. Original file certified copy of transfer order and docket sheet received.
August 24, 2020 Filing 4 TEXT ORDER denying #3 Motion for Reconsideration re #2 Order: Petitioner seeks reconsideration of this Court's order transferring his Section 2241 petition to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York. The Court's order did not hold that Petitioner must proceed under Section 2254 but, rather, expressly reserved that decision for the Eastern District of New York court to decide after transfer. See Dkt. 2, at 3 n.1. This Court recognizes that Petitioner challenges the validity of his state conviction. But that challenge does not change that Petitioner is in DOCCS (i.e., state) custody pursuant to a state conviction. See Dkt. 1, at 2, 4-6. As a result, venue for Petitioner's Section 2241 petition is proper in the Eastern District of New York for the reasons stated in the Court's prior order. See 28 U.S.C. 2241(d); Dkt. 2, at 2-3. The Clerk of Court shall transfer this case to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York. SO ORDERED. Issued by Hon. John L. Sinatra, Jr. on 8/24/2020.
