Robinson v. Kansas, No. 11-3168 (10th Cir. 2011)
Annotate this Case
Pro se prisoner Petitioner Donald Robinson sought a certificate of appealability (COA) from the Tenth Circuit to challenge a district court's denial of his habeas petition. Petitioner attacked two people with a baseball bat, fatally wounding one and seriously wounding the other. On the strength of the surviving victim's testimony at trial, Petitioner was convicted of second-degree murder and aggravated assault. Petitioner received a 213 month sentence which was upheld on appeal and again on post-conviction review. Petitioner raised numerous grounds in his habeas petition. The Tenth Circuit found "nothing debatable about the reasons for the district court's rejection of the petition" and therefore denied his request for a COA.
