Pinkey v. Zavislan, No. 11-1336 (10th Cir. 2011)
Annotate this CasePro se prisoner Petitioner-Appellant Cynthia Pinkey sought a certificate of appealability (COA) to appeal the district court's denial of his petition for the writ of habeas corpus. The district court dismissed Petitioner's habeas petition as time-barred and found no circumstances warranting equitable tolling. Petitioner claimed that Colorado’s Department of Corrections (CDOC) violated her constitutional rights by miscalculating her sentence. The Tenth Circuit in its review found the district court's determination that Petitioner's petition was time barred and not eligible for equitable tolling was "not reasonably debatable." The Court denied Petitioner's application for a COA and dismissed her appeal.
