Lucero v. Milyard
Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
TERRENCE L. O’BRIEN, Circuit Judge.
Daniel Pesengulo Lucero, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, 1 filed a 28 U.S.C. § 2254 petition for writ of habeas corpus. The district court denied the petition as well as Lucero’s constructive application for a Certificate of Appealability (COA). 2 It also denied Lucero’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis (ifp) on appeal as procedurally deficient. In this Court, Lucero requests a COA and again seeks leave to proceed ifp on appeal. See 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(1)(A); Fed. R.App. P. 22(b)(1), 24(a)(5). We deny both requests.
