Hutchinson v. Milyard, No. 11-1022 (10th Cir. 2011)
Annotate this CasePetitioner-Appellant Ronald Hutchinson appealed the district court's dismissal of his habeas petition. He alleged his sentence and the application of mandatory parole violated his constitutional rights. Petitioner pled guilty to the distribution of drugs, which carried a sentence of imprisonment ranging from four to twelve years, plus five years of mandatory parole. Petitioner received a sixteen-year sentence, with five years of mandatory parole. The district court concluded that Petitioner did not make a substantial showing of the denial of his constitutional rights. "Because [the district court's] decision is not debatably incorrect," the Tenth Circuit denied petitioner's request for a Certificate of Appealability (COA), effectively dismissing his habeas petition.
