Petitioner’s application is denied. To the extent that Petitioner seeks to use the
application as a vehicle to challenge habeas rulings made by this Court and the United
States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania over a decade ago, he may
not do so. The application otherwise appears to seek permission to file a habeas petition
that would attack several unrelated, decades-old convictions, including juvenile
convictions. But it does not appear that Petitioner is still “in custody” with respect to any
of those convictions. See Piasecki v. Ct. Com. Pl. Bucks Cnty., Pa., * F.3d *, *-
* (3d Cir. *) (“A federal court has jurisdiction to entertain a [habeas] petition . . .
only if the petitioner was in custody pursuant to the judgment of a State court when the
Case: *-* Document: * Page: * Date Filed: */*/*
petition was filed.” (internal quotation marks omitted)); see also Pet’r’s Second Resp.
Final Suppl. to Show Cause Order, at PDF p. * (* letter from Pennsylvania State
Police, informing Petitioner that he is “no longer required to register as a sexual offender
with the Pennsylvania State Police” and “no longer required to verify or report a change
of [his] address, employment, schooling or other required information to the
Pennsylvania State Police”). Furthermore, even if we were to assume for the sake of
argument that (*) Petitioner could meet the “in custody” requirement, and (*) Petitioner
needs our permission to attack each of the convictions at issue here (except for his
conviction for sex-related offenses, it does not appear that he has previously attacked his
convictions in a federal habeas petition), we would conclude that he has failed to meet the
standard for relief under * U.S.C. § *(b). That is, Petitioner has not made a prima
facie showing that his proposed habeas petition relies on (A) a new rule of constitutional
law that the United States Supreme Court has made retroactive to cases on collateral
review, or (B) new and diligently discovered facts that, “if proven and viewed in light of
the evidence as a whole, would be sufficient to establish by clear and convincing
evidence that, but for constitutional error, no reasonable factfinder would have found
[him] guilty of the underlying offense[(s)].” * U.S.C. § *(b)(*); see * U.S.C.
§ *(b)(*)(C). To the extent that Petitioner seeks appointment of counsel, “emergency
review,” and other, miscellaneous relief, those requests are denied.
I'm sorry to hear about the denial of the application. It appears the court did not find the petitioner to be "in custody" for the convictions he wishes to challenge, which is a requirement under * U.S.C. § *(b). Additionally, the court did not find a prima facie showing of new constitutional law or new facts that could change the outcome of the original conviction. It's important to consult with a legal professional to understand the next best steps.
