McCoy v. Peterson

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit February 7, 2002

McCoy v. Peterson, 26 F. App'x 895 (10th Cir. 2002)

Opinion

ORDER AND JUDGMENT **

PAUL KELLY, Jr., Circuit Judge.

Mr. McCoy seeks to appeal from the district court’s denial of his habeas petition pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. The district court and the magistrate judge correctly held that a motion pursuant to 28 U.S.C. *896 § 2255 is Mr. McCoy’s sole remedy and that such remedy cannot be deemed “inadequate or ineffective” in these circumstances. I R. Docs. 7 & 9. See Caravalho v. Pugh, 177 F.3d 1177, 1179 (10th Cir. 1999). Accordingly, we DISMISS the appeal. Mr. McCoy’s motion for leave to proceed on appeal in forma pauperis is DENIED as moot.

We DENY Mr. McCoy’s “Motion for Leave to File a Supplemental Briefing Covering Newly Discovered Evidence that Proves that the Government Perpetrated Fraud Upon the District Court.”

This order and judgment is not binding precedent, except under the doctrines of law of the case, res judicata, and collateral estoppel. This court generally disfavors the citation of orders and judgments; nevertheless, an order and judgment may be cited under the terms and conditions of 10th Cir. R. 36.3.
