View this case - free  

Overview: Court of appeals found that a convicted felon's claim that an Assistant U.S. Attorney violated his right to due process of law when she failed to file a forfeiture action against property that was seized from him, but kept the property after his appeal was denied, was sufficient to avoid sua sponte dismissal under 28 U.S.C.S. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i).

Overview: A request for a certificate of appealability to challenge the dismissal of a 28 U.S.C.S. § 2241 habeas corpus petition as untimely under 28 U.S.C.S. § 2244(d)(1) was affirmed because the petition was clearly untimely and an inmate's ignorance of the law was not grounds for equitable tolling.

View this case - free

Gunderson v. Abbott, No. 05-8125, UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT, March 24, 2006, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: A certificate of appealability under 28 U.S.C.S. § 2253(c)(2) was denied because a determination regarding the timeliness of a habeas corpus petition under 28 U.S.C.S. § 2244(d)(1) was not debatable; the time limit was not excused because statutory tolling did not apply, and ignorance of the law did not constitute an exceptional circumstance.

View this case - free  

Overview: A request for a certificate of appealability to challenge the denial of a Fed. R.

View this case - free  

Overview: Defendant's 15 years sentence under the Armed Career Criminal Act on his plea of guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm was affirmed because the court was bound by Supreme Court precedent holding that prior criminal history that increased the statutory penalty did not need to be pleaded in an indictment nor proven to a jury.

United States v. Collins, No. 05-8056, UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT, March 24, 2006, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: A request for a COA to challenge the denial of a 28 U.S.C.S. § 2255 motion was denied because the district court did not err in failing to enter a default judgment since the government's delayed response due to the substantial number of habeas motions following the Booker decision was understandable and not so egregious as to violate due process.

Overview: Petitioner's request for a certificate of appealability under 28 U.S.C.S. § 2253 to challenge a district court's denial of 28 U.S.C.S. § 2255 motion to vacate, set aside, or correct sentence was dismissed as moot because petitioner was no longer incarcerated and his motion challenged only his term of incarceration and not his underlying conviction.
