Case
Henriquez v. LaClair · No. 1:19-cv-02265
Judge
Jesse Furman
Date
Mar. 13, 2020

Background

The judgment concerns a petition filed by Jean Carlos Henriquez against Darwin LaClair, identified as superintendent of Franklin Correctional Facility. The judgment states that the court’s reasons were provided in a memorandum opinion and order dated March 12, 2020. That memorandum is not included in the provided text, so the underlying claims and arguments cannot be determined from this judgment alone.

Ruling

The court denied Henriquez’s petition and dismissed the case. It found that Henriquez had not made a substantial showing that a constitutional right had been denied. The court therefore stated that a certificate of appealability would not issue at that time.

The court also certified under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that an appeal from the memorandum opinion and order would not be taken in good faith. It accordingly denied permission to appeal without paying filing fees and closed the case. Judge Jesse Furman is identified in the supplied case information; the judgment itself was entered by the clerk of court.
