View this case - free  

Overview: Inmate's request for a COA under 28 U.S.C.S. § 2253 was denied where since the inmate's appeal of the denial of his Colo. R. Crim. P. 35(c) motion was dismissed as untimely, and he provided no argument why that disposition was in error, the inmate failed to exhaust his claims in state court.

Montana v. Hargett, No. 06-1347, UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT, January 12, 2007, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Because plaintiff prisoner only provided unsupported conclusory allegations of wrongdoing by prison officials and, thus, failed to show cause why he could not meet the requirement of 28 U.S.C.S. § 1915(a)(2) to submit a certified inmate account statement, his complaint was properly dismissed by the district court.

View this case - free  

Overview: Because there was not sufficient evidence on a public employee's duties to perform the analysis required by Garcetti v. Celebes for deciding if his speech was protected by the First Amendment, remand was required. District court had discretion to review an interlocutory order, and it was not bound by Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e)'s and 60(b)'s standards.

View this case - free  

Overview: A decision to deny a downward departure was not reviewable where the district court had not suggested that it lacked the authority to do so; however, the reasonableness of the sentence was reviewable, but the court could not discern whether the district court considered 18 U.S.C.S. § 3553(a)'s factors, and a remand was ordered.

Webster v. AG of Okla., No. 06-6207, UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT, January 12, 2007, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Inmate's failure to seek appellate review in state court constituted a procedural default of his Brady claim, and he failed to demonstrate cause and prejudice, or that failure to consider his claim would result in a fundamental miscarriage of justice. Thus, the inmate was not entitled to a COA under 28 U.S.C.S. § 2253 since his claim was barred.
