Trial Court Opinion
IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT NORTHERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS DALLAS DIVISION
ROSABLANCA MONIQUE HAYES, § Dall. Cnty. Jail BookIn No. 22017651, § § Petitioner, § § v. § Civil Action No. 3:22-CV-1610-L § DALLAS COUNTY SHERRIFF’S § DEPT., § § § Respondent. §
ORDER
On August 4, 2022, United States Magistrate Judge David L. Horan entered the Findings, Conclusions, and Recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge (“Report”) (Doc. 4), recommending that the court dismiss with prejudice pro se Petitioner Rosablanca Monique Hayes’s (“Petitioner”) petition for writ of habeas corpus under
28 U.S.C. § 2254(Doc. 3). No objections to the Report were filed, and time to do so has passed. Having reviewed the pleadings, file, record in this case, and Report, the court determines that the findings and conclusions of the magistrate judge are correct, and accepts them as those of the court. Accordingly, the court denies Petitioner’s petition for writ of habeas corpus under
28 U.S.C. § 2255(Doc. 3), construed appropriately as brought under
28 U.S.C. § 2241, because she failed to exhaust her available state remedies as required, and for this reason, the court dismisses with prejudice this action. Considering the record in this case and pursuant to Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 22(b), Rule 11(a) of the Rules Governing §§ 2254 and 2255 proceedings, and
28 U.S.C. § 2253(c), the court denies a certificate of appealability.” The court determines that Petitioner has failed to show: (1) that reasonable jurists would find this court’s “assessment of the constitutional claims debatable or wrong;” or (2) that reasonable jurists would find “it debatable whether the petition states a valid claim of the denial of a constitutional right” and “debatable whether [this court] was correct in its procedural ruling.” Slack v. McDaniel,
529 U.S. 473, 484(2000). In support of this determination, the court accepts and incorporates by reference the magistrate judge’s report filed in this case. In the event that Petitioner files a notice of appeal, she must pay the $505 appellate filing fee or submit a motion to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal. It is so ordered this 23rd day of September, 2022.
Sam A. Lindsay United States District Judge
“Rule 11 of the Rules Governing §§ 2254 and 2255 Cases provides as follows: (a) Certificate of Appealability. The district court must issue or deny a certificate of appealability when it enters a final order adverse to the applicant. Before entering the final order, the court may direct the parties to submit arguments on whether a certificate should issue. If the court issues a certificate, the court must state the specific issue or issues that satisfy the showing required by
28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2). If the court denies a certificate, the parties may not appeal the denial but may seek a certificate from the court of appeals under Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 22. A motion to reconsider a denial does not extend the time to appeal. (b) Time to Appeal. Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 4(a) governs the time to appeal an order entered under these rules. A timely notice of appeal must be filed even if the district court issues a certificate of appealability. Order — Page 2
