Johnny Peoples v. Bruce Chatman

Johnny Peoples appeals the district court’s dismissal of his petition for writ of habeas corpus, brought pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. We issued a Certificate of Appealability (“COA”) on two issues: 1) Whether the district court erred in treating appellant’s petition as seeking relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2241? and 2) Whether the district court erred in dismissing appellant’s petition, treated as one filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241, as time-barred?
