WO 

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA 

John Calvin Neuendorf, II, 

Petitioner, 

 vs. 

Charles L. Ryan, et al., 

Respondents. 

No. CV 12-755-PHX-RCB (DKD) 

 O R D E R 

 Petitioner John Calvin Neuendorf, II, who is confined in the Arizona State Prison 

Complex-Eyman, filed pro se Petition Under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 for a Writ of Habeas 

Corpus by a Person in State Custody and an Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis. 

On April 26, 2012, Petitioner filed a Motion for Leave to Amend and on May 4, 2012, 

Petitioner filed a second Motion for Leave to Amend. In a June 29, 2012 Order, the 

Court granted the Application to Proceed and granted Petitioner leave to file an amended 

petition. On July 27, 2012, Petitioner filed an Amended Petition. 

 On September 10, 2012, the Court dismissed the Amended Petition and this action 

because Petitioner had not exhausted state court remedies. Judgment was entered on the 

same date. 

 Petitioner then filed a September 12, 2013 Amended Petition, a September 26, 

2013 Application for Leave to Proceed In Forma Pauperis, an October 17, 2013 Motion 

to Amend, and a December 4, 2013 Motion for Leave to Amend.

 On December 30, 2013, the Court issued an order noting that this case is closed, 

striking Petitioner’s September 12, 2013 Amended Petition, and denying as moot the 

remaining motions. 

 On January 1, 2014 and January 14, 2014, Petitioner filed Motions titled “QuoStatu for: Habeas Corpus to include forma pauperis” in which it appears that Petitioner is 

requesting new forms for filing documents in the case. This case is closed and the Court 

will deny the Motions. 

On January 13, 2014, Plaintiff filed a Notice of Appeal to the Ninth Circuit Court 

of Appeals. Pursuant to Rule 11(a) of the Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases, the 

Court declines to issue a certificate of appealability because reasonable jurists would not 

find the Court’s procedural ruling debatable. See Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 484 

(2000). 

IT IS ORDERED: 

 (1) Petitioner’s January 30, 2014 and January 17, 2014 Motions “Quo-Statu” 

(Docs. 30 and 32) are denied. 

 (2) Pursuant to Rule 11(a) of the Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases, the 

Court declines to issue a certificate of appealability because reasonable jurists would not 

find the Court’s procedural ruling debatable. See Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 484 

(2000). 

DATED this 21st day of February, 2014.
