October 25, 2022 MAILING RECEIPT: Document No: 7. Mailed to: Tamarkqua Garland 15-A-2152 Clinton Correctional Facility 1156 Rt. 374-POB 2001 Dannemora, NY 12909. (dsh)
October 24, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 7 ORDER TO AMEND: Plaintiff is hereby notified that the Court finds that this complaint should be construed as a petition for a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. 2254 challenging the constitutionality of his 2015 conviction. If Plaintiff does not want to pursue relief under Section 2254, he may notify the Court in writing within 60 days that he wishes to withdraw his complaint. If Plaintiff wishes to proceed under Section 2254, he must file an amended Section 2254 petition that names his custodian as respondent, and includes all of the grounds on which he challenges his conviction, and includes any grounds for statutory or equitable tolling. An amended Section 2254 petition form is attached to this order. The amended petition must be submitted to the Courts Pro Se Intake Unit within 60 days, and be labeled with this docket number, 22-CV-8712 (LTS). If Plaintiff does not withdraw the complaint or submit an amended Section 2254 petition within the time allowed, or request an extension of time to do so, the complaint will remain designated as a Section 2254 petition and be dismissed without prejudice. If Plaintiff wishes to file a civil rights action repleading his claims under 42 U.S.C. 1983, regarding a use of force incident in 2014 or 2015, he must file an amended civil rights complaint within 60 days of the date of this order. The amended civil rights complaint must be submitted, together with an in forma pauperis application and prisoner authorization form. Once it is filed under this docket number, 22-CV-8712 (LTS), the Court will direct that it be treated as a separate civil action. At this time, no answer shall be required, and no summons shall issue. Because Petitioner has not at this time made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right, a certificate of appealability will not issue. See 28 U.S.C. 2253. The Court certifies under 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 the purpose of an appeal. Cf. Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 444-45 (1962) (holding that an appellant demonstrates good faith when he seeks review of a nonfrivolous issue). SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Laura Taylor Swain on 10/24/22) (rdz)
