McMurray v. McCelmoore, No. 11-2064 (10th Cir. 2011)
Annotate this CasePro se prisoner Petitioner Sammy McMurray filed a series of appeals to the Tenth Circuit. He has been confined to the New Mexico Behavioral Health Institute’s long-term care division. As could be discerned from Petitioner’s appellate brief, he challenged the evidence used to convict him. The district court dismissed his case without prejudice, but several months later, Petitioner filed a series of motions in an attempt to reopen the case. The district court denied those motions and advised Petitioner that it was considering filing restrictions. When Petitioner did not respond, the court entered its order imposing filing restrictions. Petitioner appealed only that order to the Tenth Circuit. After thoroughly reviewing Petitioner’s filings and the record in this case, the Tenth Circuit affirmed the district court’s order.
