UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK

JOHN TODD WILLIAMS, Petitioner, -v- No. 20-cv-1554 (RJS) No. 14-cr-784 (RJS) UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, ORDER Respondent.

RICHARD J. SULLIVAN, Circuit Judge: On April 21, 2025, the Court issued an order denying petitioner’s motions. (Doc. No. 53.) The Court noted that any appeal of that order would “lack an arguable basis in law or fact,” Tavarez v. Reno,

(2d Cir. 1995), and certified pursuant to

(a)(3) that any appeal from that Order would not be taken in good faith. Coppedge v. United States,

(1962). For the avoidance of doubt, this order clarifies that a certificate of appealability is not granted, as the petitioner has not made a “substantial showing of the denial of a federal right” and appellate review is, therefore, not warranted. Slack v. McDaniel,

(2000); Hoffler Bezio,

(2d Cir. 2013); Tankleff v. Senkowski,

(2d Cir. 1998). The Clerk of Court is respectfully requested to mail a copy of this order to pro se petitioner at the address indicated on the Notice of Appeal filed on May 16, 2025. (Doc. No. 54.) SO ORDERED.

Dated: May 26, 2025 New York, New York ctr ( RICHARDJ.SULLIVAN UNITED STATES CIRCUIT JUDGE Sitting by Designation
