UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

 Plaintiff,

v.

FRANCISCO TORRES FELIX,

Defendant.

Case No. 14-CV-00408-RMW

Related to CR-07-00106-RMW-2

ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR 

RECONSIDERATION OF ORDER 

DENYING CERTIFICATE OF 

APPEALABILITY ON ORDER 

DENYING § 2255 MOTION

[Re Dkt. No. 207]

Defendant Francisco Torres Felix (“Felix”) moves for reconsideration of the court's denial of 

his request for a certificate of appealability (Docket # 205). Felix has not met the requirements of 

Rule 60(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure for relief from the order. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 

60(b). However, even if the court were to reconsider and treat his § 2255 motion as timely, Felix 

would still not be entitled to relief as the motion lacks substantive merit. Felix has not shown that 

his trial or appellate counsel prejudiced his case by lack of advice or by not objecting to time 

exclusions under the Speedy Trial Act. Felix also waived his Speedy Trial Act claim and his 

evidentiary claim by pleading guilty and, in addition, by not raising them on appeal. Jurists of
