UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN SOUTHERN DIVISION JOHN SAMUEL BURTON, #358780, Petitioner, CASE NO. 2:14-CV-11760 v. HONORABLE VICTORIA A. ROBERTS DEWAYNE BURTON, Respondent. __________________________________/ ORDER DENYING PETITIONER’S MOTION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPEALABILITY AND DENYING HIS APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS ON APPEAL This matter is before the Court on Petitioner’s Motion for a Certificate of Appealability and his Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis on Appeal concerning the Court’s May 28, 2020 decision denying his Amended Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus. The Court, however, denied a Certificate of Appealability and denied leave to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal when it denied habeas relief. The Court finds no reason to reconsider that decision. A motion for reconsideration which presents issues already ruled upon by the Court, either expressly or by reasonable implication, will not be granted. See Hence v. Smith,

(E.D. Mich. 1999); Czajkowski v. Tindall & Assoc., P.C.,

(E.D. Mich. 1997). Petitioner fails to meet his burden of showing a palpable defect by which the Court has been misled or his burden of showing that a different disposition must result from a correction thereof, as required by Local Rule 7.1(h)(3). The Court properly denied habeas relief and properly denied a Certificate of Appealability and leave to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal. Accordingly, the 1 Court DENIES Petitioner’s Motion for a Certificate of Appealability and his Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis on Appeal. This case is closed. IT IS SO ORDERED.
