Description
Order This case has been referred to a panel of the court pursuant to Rule 9(a), Rules of the Sixth Circuit. Upon examination,
this panel unanimously agrees that oral argument is not needed. Fed. R. App. P. 34(a). This is an appeal from an order dismissing a petition for federal habeas corpus filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Gary
Pittman is a Tennessee inmate. He filed a § 2254 petition in which he challenged the constitutionality of a 1980
multiple-count state court conviction for aggravated rape (three counts), robbery by use of a deadly weapon, and carrying
a pistol. Tennessee responded and the district court ultimately ordered that the petition be dismissed. This appeal followed.
The parties have briefed the issues; Pittman is proceeding in his own behalf. In addition, Pittman has filed a motion for
the appointment of appellate counsel.
