Description
Charles Taylor pleaded guilty in the United States District Court for the District of Kansas to bank robbery. See 18 U.S.C. § 2113(a). After his direct appeal was denied, United States v. Taylor, 353 F.3d 868 (10th Cir. 2003), he filed a motion for habeas relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2255, alleging a Speedy Trial Act violation and several instances of ineffective assistance of counsel. The district court denied the motion, and Mr. Taylor now seeks a certificate of appealability (COA) from us. See 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c). We hold that Mr. Taylor cannot obtain a COA for his Speedy Trial Act claim because it alleges only a statutory violation. The ineffective-assistance claims are clearly without merit, so we deny a COA for them as well, and dismiss the appeal.
