Background
Michael Williams was the petitioner, and Jaime Lamanna was the respondent. The judgment does not describe the petition’s underlying claims or the parties’ arguments.
Ruling

The court also ruled that Williams had not made a substantial showing that a constitutional right was denied, so it would not issue a certificate of appealability. A certificate of appealability is a document required for certain appeals in this type of case. The court further certified that any appeal from the order would not be taken in good faith.
