A 44-year-old Brownsville man who committed one of Cameron County’s most horrific crimes cannot appeal a federal judge’s denial of his request for habeas relief.
The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals denied John Allen Rubio’s request for a certificate of appealability following the March 2024 denial of his request for habeas relief. That order also denied Rubio’s ability to appeal.
Rubio, who is on Death Row, asked the higher appellate court to allow him to appeal.
