Roebuck v. Medina, No. 11-1399 (10th Cir. 2012)
Annotate this CasePetitioner-Appellant Marcellous Ander Roebuck sought a certificate of appealability (COA) to challenge his conviction and sentence on the grounds he received ineffective assistance of counsel at trial. Petitioner pled guilty in Colorado state court to several felonies, and was sentenced to 83 years in prison; he did not appeal. Following an application for state post-conviction relief, Petitioner filed a 28 U.S.C. 2254 motion with the district court, alleging various claims of ineffective assistance of counsel. The district court found that Petitioner waived some of those claims in his plea agreement. The court disposed of Petitioner's other claims on the merits. Finding that he did not make a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right, the Tenth Circuit denied Petitioner's application for a COA and dismissed his appeal.
