UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

TENTH CIRCUIT

 

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff - Appellee,

v. No. 16-2059

KEVIN FOLSE,

Defendant - Appellant.

and 1:15-CR-02485-JB-1)

(D.N.M.)

 

ORDER DENYING CERTIFICATE OF APEALABILITY*

 

Before GORSUCH, BALDOCK, and McHUGH, Circuit Judges.

 

Defendant Folse stands convicted of federal offenses related to carjacking and

gun possession. His sentencing hearing is currently scheduled for July 19, 2016. In

an order dated March 31, 2016, the district court explained to Defendant Folse why

his § 2255 petition was premature and dismissed his petition without prejudice. For

the reasons stated in that court’s order, Defendant’s appeal from the dismissal

thereof is similarly premature. Accordingly, we deny Defendant a certificate of

appealability, deny any outstanding motions as moot, and dismiss the appeal.

*

 This order is not binding precedent except under the doctrines of law of the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