`
`
`Petitioner,
`
`Case No. 3:14-cv-00639-RCJ-WGC
`
`
`Order Denying Motion to Appeal in
`State Court Matter
`
`
`(ECF No. 59)
`
`
`
`
`
`JOSEPH HENDERSON,
`
`
`v.
`
`
`
`RENEE BAKER, et al.,
`
`
`Respondents.
`
`In 2019, the Court denied Joseph Henderson’s 28 U.S.C. § 2254 habeas
`
`corpus petition, and judgment was entered. (ECF Nos. 54, 55.) The Ninth
`
`Circuit Court of Appeals denied his request for a certificate of appealability.
`
`(ECF No. 58.) More than four years later, Henderson filed a document in this
`
`case that is styled more as a letter than a motion. (ECF No. 59.) He addressed
`
`it to the Clerk of Court, and it reads: “I would like to appeal the denial of the
`Nevada Supreme Court on matter 05-C212968.” Id. This is the state-court
`
`judgment that was already challenged and adjudicated in this petition, and this
`
`case is long-closed. It is unclear what relief Henderson seeks. Even if the Court
`
`construes this as a motion, it is frivolous. The motion is denied.
`It is therefore ordered that Petitioner’s motion to appeal (ECF No. 59) is
`DENIED.
`
`
`DATED: 13 February 2025.
