Opinion
20 CIVIL 3141 (MKV)
09-29-2023
LOUIS RODRIGUEZ, Petitioner, v. MICHAEL CAPRA, SUPERINTENDENT, Respondent.
JUDGMENT
It is hereby ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED: That for the reasons stated in the Court's Opinion and Order dated September 29, 2023, Petitioner's habeas petition is DENIED in its entirety. Because Petitioner has not demonstrated a basis for the federal habeas relief he seeks under 28 U.S.C. § 2254, the Court does not grant a certificate of appealability. See 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2) (a "certificate of appealability may issue [in a habeas corpus proceeding] only if the applicant has made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right."); see also Canteen v. Smith, 555 F.Supp.2d 407, 418 (S.D.N.Y. 2008) (denying Section 2254 habeas petition and declining to issue a certificate of appealability); accordingly, the case is closed.
