 This order is not binding precedent except under the doctrines of law of

the case, res judicata and collateral estoppel. It may be cited, however, for its

persuasive value consistent with Fed. R. App. P. 32.1 and 10th Cir. R. 32.1.

** After examining the briefs and the appellate record, this three-judge

panel has determined unanimously that oral argument would not be of material

assistance in the determination of this appeal. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a); 10th

Cir. R. 34.1(G). The cause is therefore ordered submitted without oral argument.

TENTH CIRCUIT

JERRY L. MASKE,

Petitioner-Appellant, No. 09-1539

v. (D. of Colo.)

AURORA ANIMAL CARE,

Respondent-Appellee.

(D.C. No. 09-cv-2751-ZLW)

ORDER DENYING CERTIFICATE OF APPEALABILITY*

Before HARTZ, ANDERSON, and TYMKOVICH, Circuit Judges.** 

This appeal arises out of multiple case filings in district court for a Writ of

Habeas Corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Petitioner Jerry Maske is a frequent filer

in district court and is subject to filing restrictions. Because Maske failed to

follow filing requirements, the district court dismissed the case without prejudice.

Maske now requests a certificate of appealability (COA) to pursue an

appeal. See 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(1)(A) (requiring a COA to appeal a denial of a

habeas application). He makes the same arguments he made in Maske v. Murphy,

No. 09-1536, (10th Cir. Feb. 16, 2010). For the same reasons set forth in that

case, we DENY the application for a COA. 

Because his application for a COA is frivolous, we DENY his request to

proceed in forma pauperis.
