Document:
Leonard Archuleta, appearing pro se, seeks a certificate of appealability ("COA") pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c) to challenge the district court's denial of his petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. While incarcerated in a private correctional facility in New Mexico, Archuleta filed the instant petition in United States District Court for the District of New Mexico challenging his transfer to, and incarceration in, a private facility. Construing his pro-se petition liberally, as we must under Haines v. Kerner, 404 U.S. 519, 520-21 (1972), Archuleta claims his incarceration in a private facility violates various state laws as well as his rights under the First, Eighth, and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution.(1) Because we conclude that Archuleta has not "made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right," we decline to grant COA. 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2).
1. Because the § 2241 petition in this case is nearly identical to those filed in Davis v. Williams, No. 00-2250 (10th Cir., filed August 4, 2000), and Hall v. Williams, No. 00-2239 (10th Cir., filed August 28, 2000), our orders and judgments in those cases are virtually identical to that in the instant case.
