Bailem v. State of Florida Doc. 56 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA FORT MYERS DIVISION TREMAINE L. BAILEM, Petitioner, v. Case No: 2:16-cv-18-FtM-38MRM STATE OF FLORIDA and SECRETARY, DOC, Respondents. / OPINION AND ORDER1 This matter comes before the Court on Petitioner Tremaine Bailem's Application for Certificate of Appealability (COA) (Doc. #51) filed on July 27, 2017. On June 26, 2017, the Court denied Bailem’s Petition for habeas corpus relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2254, and found that Bailem was not entitled to a COA. As the Court noted in its Order, “[a] [COA] may issue...only if the applicant has made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right.” 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2). To make such a showing, Petitioner “must demonstrate that reasonable jurists would find the district court's assessment of the constitutional claims debatable or wrong,” Tennard v. Dretke, 542 U.S. 274, 282 (2004) or, 1 Disclaimer: Documents filed in CM/ECF may contain hyperlinks to other documents or websites. These hyperlinks are provided only for users’ convenience.

In its previous Order, the Court found that Bailem failed to make the requisite showing and denied his COA. Bailem does not present any new evidence that would change the Court’s earlier findings. Therefore, Bailem’s Motion for a COA is denied. Accordingly, it is now ORDERED: Appellant Tremaine Bailem's Application for Certificate of Appealibility (Doc. #51) is DENIED. DONE and ORDERED in Fort Myers, Florida this 9th day of August, 2017. Copies: Tremaine L. Bailem All Parties of Record SA: FtMP-2 2
