104 F. 3d 367 - Moore v. Parmenter Home
104 F3d 367 Moore v. Parmenter 104 F.3d 367
96 CJ C.A.R. 2060
Phillip Ray MOORE, Petitioner-Appellant,v.Wallis PARMENTER, Warden, San Carlos Correctional Facility,Pueblo, Colorado; and Attorney General ofColorado, Respondents-Appellees.
No. 96-1170.
Phillip Ray Moore was convicted by a Jefferson County, Colorado jury of eight felony counts stemming from a violent sexual assault against his wife and daughter. He was sentenced to 72 years.1 After his conviction and sentence were affirmed by the Colorado Supreme Court, Moore filed a petition for a federal writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 2241(a), 2254 (1994) (amended April 24, 1996). The district court denied his petition, but granted Moore a certificate of probable cause ("CPC") to appeal the denial. Moore appealed. We affirm the district court's denial of Moore's petition.
On December 27, 1995, the district court granted Moore leave to proceed in forma pauperis under the former 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a) (1994) (amended April 26, 1996). Moore's notice of appeal was filed April 22, 1996, four days before the enactment of the Prison Litigation Reform Act of 1995 ("PLRA"), Pub.L. No. 104-134, Title VIII, 110 Stat. 1321, 1321-66 to 1321-77 (1996). We have not yet decided whether the filing fee provisions of PLRA § 804 apply to habeas corpus actions. See Deas v. Wyoming Dep't of Corrections, 99 F.3d 1149, 1996 WL 606369, at * 2 n. 1 (10th Cir. Oct. 23, 1996). However, we have held that the amendments to 28 U.S.C. § 1915 contained in PLRA § 804 do not apply to any case in which the prisoner-appellant filed his notice of appeal before April 26, 1996. White v. Gregory, 87 F.3d 429, 430 (10th Cir.), cert. denied, 65 U.S.L.W. 3399 (U.S.1996). Thus, we allow Moore to proceed without complying with PLRA's amendments to 28 U.S.C. § 1915.
On April 24, 1996, the district court entered a certificate of probable cause ("CPC") dated April 23, 1996, allowing Moore to appeal the denial of his habeas petition. On the same day, Congress enacted the Habeas Corpus Reform provisions of the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1995 ("AEDPA"), Pub.L. No. 104-132, Title I, 110 Stat. 1214, 1217-26 (1996).
Under AEDPA § 102, 28 U.S.C.A. § 2253(c) (as amended April 24, 1996), a certificate of appealability ("COA"
