See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Mark F. Coleman appeals the district court order denying his
motion for release on bond pending resolution of his 28 U.S.C. §
2255 (2000) motion. A person seeking interim release during
pursuit of § 2255 relief faces a formidable barrier created by the
fact of conviction and the government’s interest in executing its
judgment. Coleman has failed to establish exceptional
circumstances warranting relief. We further find Coleman did not
present “a clear case on the law, . . . [or] a clear, and readily
evident, case on the facts.” Glynn v. Donnelly, 470 F.2d 95, 98
(1st Cir. 1972)(citation omitted); see also Martin v. Solem, 801
F.2d 324, 329 (8th Cir. 1986). We therefore affirm the district
court’s order denying his request for release on bond. We deny as
moot Coleman’s motion to expedite the appeal. We dispense with
oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are
adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument
would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
