Perez v. Dallas County Jail Doc. 14 Case 3:20-cv-03053-L-BK Document 14 Filed 11/30/20 Page 1 of 2 PageID 116 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT NORTHERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS DALLAS DIVISION DANIEL PEREZ, #20005196, Petitioner, v. DALLAS COUNTY JAIL, Respondent. § § § § § § § § Civil Action No. 3:20-CV-3053-L-BK ORDER On October 8, 2020, the Findings, Conclusions and Recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge (Doc. 7) (“Report”) was entered, recommending that the court dismiss without prejudice this habeas action brought pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 for failure to exhaust state court remedies. Petitioner filed approximately 50 pages of materials (Docs. 11, 12, 13), objecting to the Report. Some of these filings appear to be duplicative and intended as amended objections. Having considered the pleadings, file, record in this case, and Report, and having conducted a de novo review of that portion of the Report to which objection was made, the court determines that the findings and conclusions of the magistrate judge are correct, and accepts them as those of the court. Accordingly, the court dismisses without prejudice this habeas action for failure to exhaust state court remedies. Considering the record in this case and pursuant to Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 22(b), Rule 11(a) of the Rules Governing §§ 2254 and 2255 proceedings, and 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c), the court prospectively denies a certificate of appealability.* The court determines that Petitioner * Rule 11 of the Rules Governing §§ 2254 and 2255 Cases provides as follows: (a) Certificate of Appealability. The district court must issue or deny a certificate of appealability when it enters a final order adverse to the applicant. Before entering the final order, the Order – Page 1 Dockets.Justia.com Case 3:20-cv-03053-L-BK Document 14 Filed 11/30/20 Page 2 of 2 PageID 117 has failed to show: (1) that reasonable jurists would find this court’s “assessment of the constitutional claims debatable or wrong;” or (2) that reasonable jurists would find “it debatable whether the petition states a valid claim of the denial of a constitutional right” and “debatable whether [this court] was correct in its procedural ruling.” Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 484 (2000). In support of this determination, the court accepts and incorporates by reference the Report in this case. In the event that Petitioner files a notice of appeal, he must pay the $505 appellate filing fee or submit a motion to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”), unless he has been granted IFP status by the district court. It is so ordered this 30th day of November, 2020. _________________________________ Sam A. Lindsay United States District Judge court may direct the parties to submit arguments on whether a certificate should issue. If the court issues a certificate, the court must state the specific issue or issues that satisfy the showing required by 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2). If the court denies a certificate, the parties may not appeal the denial but may seek a certificate from the court of appeals under Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 22. A motion to reconsider a denial does not extend the time to appeal. (b) Time to Appeal. Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 4(a) governs the time to appeal an order entered under these rules. A timely notice of appeal must be filed even if the district court issues a certificate of appealability. Order – Page 2
