- Sept. 29, 2023
Background
Louis Rodriguez was the petitioner, and Michael Capra, identified in the caption as superintendent, was the respondent. Rodriguez filed a petition seeking federal habeas relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. The supplied judgment does not state the specific grounds raised in the petition or summarize the court’s reasoning beyond referring to an Opinion and Order dated September 29, 2023.
Ruling
The court ordered, adjudged, and decreed that Rodriguez’s habeas petition was denied in its entirety. The judgment states that Rodriguez had not demonstrated a basis for the federal habeas relief he sought under § 2254.
The court also did not grant a certificate of appealability. A certificate of appealability is a separate authorization required for certain appeals from federal habeas proceedings. The case was closed.
Judge and Source Limitations
The supplied text does not identify the individual judge who decided the petition. It lists Ruby J. Krajick as clerk of court and identifies a deputy clerk, but those officials are not identified as the judge. The referenced Opinion and Order is not included, so the petition’s specific claims and the court’s detailed reasoning cannot be summarized from this text alone.
