Richard Zeitvogel v. Michael Bowersox
Citations: 103 F.3d 56; 1996 WL 714911; 1996 U.S. App. LEXIS 32907Docket: 96-4133
Court: Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit; December 10, 1996; Federal Appellate Court
Richard Zeitvogel, a death-row inmate in Missouri, sought a certificate of appealability following the district court's denial of his Rule 60(b) motion, which aimed to obtain relief from the previous denial of his first amended habeas petition. The Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals reviewed the case and determined that the district court had acted appropriately in denying Zeitvogel's motion. The court noted that Zeitvogel's Rule 60(b) motion was based on the same arguments previously rejected when the court denied his request to file a second habeas petition. Consequently, the Eighth Circuit denied Zeitvogel's application for a certificate of appealability and his motion for a stay of execution.
