Date Filed Document Text
June 7, 2010 Opinion or Order Filing 18 OPINION AND ORDER: For the reasons set forth above, I hereby adopt the R&R and deny Rodriguez's section 2254 petition. The next question is whether this Court should issue a Certificate of Appealability ("COA"). For a COA to issue, pet itioner must make a "substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right." A "substantial showing" does not require a petitioner to demonstrate that he would prevail on the merits, but merely 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. The issues raised in petitioner's Objections were not easily decided and it is possible that a different judge would have reached a different conclusion. Accordingly, I hereby grant a certificate of appealability as to whether petitioner's trial counsel was ineffective for: (1) not requesting a defense-against-robbery charge; and (2) not objecting to the justification charge given by the trial judge. The Clerk of the Court is directed to close this motion and this case. (Signed by Judge Shira A. Scheindlin on 6/7/2010) (jfe)
April 2, 2009 Opinion or Order Filing 16 ORDER: The Clerk of the Court is hereby ORDERED to vacate: (1) this Court's February 26,2009 Order adopting the Report and Recommendation of Magistrate Judge Michael H. Dolinger, dated August 15,2008; and (2) the Clerk's Judgment, dated Feb ruary 27,2009, dismissing the instant petition with prejudice. The Clerk of the Court is further ORDERED to reinstate the above-captioned case to this Court's active docket. Respondent is hereby ORDERED to respond, in writing, to petitioner's objections to the Report and Recommendation by May 1, 2009. (Signed by Judge Shira A. Scheindlin on 4/2/2009) (jpo)
February 27, 2009 Opinion or Order Filing 14 ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS for 12 Report and Recommendations, I hereby adopt the thorough and thoughtful R&R in full. In accordance with the R&R, the instant habeas petition is dismissed with prejudice. Because petitioner's failure to file objections precludes appellate review, this Court will not issue a certificate of appealability...The Clerk of the Court is directed to close this case. (Signed by Judge Shira A. Scheindlin on 2/26/09) (cd)
