October 6, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 4 ORDER: This mandamus action is a misguided attempt to invalidate the petitioner's 2002 felony murder conviction following several unsuccessful challenges in state and federal court. Accordingly, the petition for a writ of mandamus (Doc. No. 1) is DENIED and this action is DISMISSED as frivolous. The court CERTIFIES that any appeal in this matter would not be taken in good faith. 28 U.S.C. 1915(a)(3).
