Williams v. United States

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK JOHN TODD WILLIAMS, Petitioner, No. 20-cv-1554 (RJS) -v- UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Respondent. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA -v- No. 14-cr-784 (RJS) JOHN TODD WILLIAMS, ORDER Defendant. RICHARD J. SULLIVAN, Circuit Judge: On August 8, 2024, the Court denied John Todd Williams’s motions brought pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60(b) for relief from the Court’s order denying his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion. (See Dkt. No. 14-cr-784, Doc. No. 302; Dkt. No. 20-cv-1554, Doc. No. 42.) On January 21, 2025, the Court denied, among other motions, Williams’s “Motion to Clarify and Correct” that August 8, 2024 order. (See Dkt. No. 14-cr-784, Doc. No. 317; Dkt. No. 20-cv-1554, Doc. No. 47.) For the avoidance of doubt, the Court confirms that it will not issue a certificate of appealability with respect to either order because Williams has not “made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right.” 28 U.S.C. § 2253 (c)(2); see Love v. McCray, 413 F.3d 192, 195 (2d Cir. 2005); see also Torres v. United States, 833 F.3d 164, 165 (2d Cir. 2016). The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to mail a copy of this Order to Williams at his previously provided (and most recent) address. SO ORDERED.
