United States v. Battle, No. 11-3065 (10th Cir. 2011)
Annotate this Case
Pro se prisoner Petitioner Robert Battle sought a certificate of appealability (COA) to appeal the district court's dismissal of his unauthorized second or successive motion for post-conviction relief, dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. Petitioner pled guilty in 2000 to possession with the intent to distribute cocaine. He was sentenced as a career offender to 210 months' imprisonment. The Tenth Circuit affirmed his convictions on appeal. In 2002 Petitioner filed a motion to vacate, set aside or correct his sentence which was denied. In 2010, Petitioner filed his second motion with the district court, which was dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. Upon review, the Tenth Circuit found that the district court indeed lacked jurisdiction to review Petitioner's motion, and it denied Petitioner's application for a COA and dismissed this appeal.
