IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA 

Amr M. Mohsen, 

Petitioner, 

vs. 

Conrad M. Graber, 

Respondent.

No. CV-11-566-TUC-JGZ (LAB)

 

ORDER 

 Pending before the Court is a Report and Recommendation issued by United 

States Magistrate Judge Leslie A. Bowman that recommends denying Petitioner’s habeas 

petition filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §2241. (Doc. 14.) As thoroughly explained by 

Magistrate Judge Bowman, Petitioner is not entitled to relief as his petition is without 

merit. As Petitioner’s objections do not undermine the analysis and proper conclusion 

reached by Magistrate Judge Bowman, Petitioner’s objections are rejected and the Report 

and Recommendation is adopted. 

 Before Petitioner can appeal this Court's judgment, a certificate of appealability 

must issue. See 28 U.S.C. §2253(c) and Fed. R. App. P. 22(b)(1). Federal Rule of 

Appellate Procedure 22(b) requires the district court that rendered a judgment denying 

the petition made pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §2241 to "either issue a certificate of 

appealability or state why a certificate should not issue." Additionally, 28 U.S.C. 

§2253(c)(2) provides that a certificate may issue "only if the applicant has made a 

substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right." In the certificate, the court 

must indicate which specific issues satisfy this showing. See 28 U.S.C. §2253(c)(3). A

substantial showing is made when the resolution of an issue of appeal is debatable among 

reasonable jurists, if courts could resolve the issues differently, or if the issue deserves 

further proceedings. See Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 484-85 (2000). Upon review 

of the record in light of the standards for granting a certificate of appealability, the Court 

concludes that a certificate shall not issue as the resolution of the petition is not debatable 

among reasonable jurists and does not deserve further proceedings. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED as follows: 

(1) The Report and Recommendation (Doc. 14) is accepted and adopted. 

(2) Petitioner’s §2241 habeas petition is denied and this case is dismissed with 

prejudice. 

(3) A Certificate of Appealability is denied and shall not issue. 

(4) The Clerk of the Court shall enter judgment accordingly and close the file in this 

matter. 

 Dated this 9th day of January, 2013.
