United States v. Torres-Laranega

ORDER DENYING CERTIFICATE OF APPEALABILITY **

TIMOTHY M. TYMKOVICH, Circuit Judge.

Jorge Torres-Laranega, a federal prisoner proceeding pro se, appeals the district court’s dismissal of his application for habeas relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2255. He also seeks leave to proceed on appeal in forma pauperis. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we construe Torres-Laranega’s filings liberally because he is proceeding pro se. See Hall v. Bellman, 935 F.2d 1106, 1110 & n. 3 (10th Cir.1991).

We agree with the district court that Torres-Laranega was not entitled to relief under § 2255.…
