Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Southern District of Georgia

________________________

(April 15, 2015)

Before WILLIAM PRYOR, JULIE CARNES and FAY, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM: 

William Green, a federal prisoner, appeals the dismissal sua sponte of his 

third motion to vacate as untimely. See 28 U.S.C. § 2255(f). The district court

issued a certificate of appealability on two issues: (1) “Whether Stewart v. United 

States, 646 F.3d 856 (11th Cir. 2011), justifies equitable tolling of 28 U.S.C. 

§ 2255(f)’s one year statute of limitations given Green’s diligent pursuit of his 

claims both pre- and post-Stewart”; and (2) “Whether the Stewart decision itself 

constitutes a new fact that restarts the one year limitations period.” But the

certificate fails to identify an issue of constitutional magnitude. See Spencer v. 

United States, 773 F.3d 1132, 1137 (11th Cir. 2014) (en banc). We vacate the 

certificate of appealability and remand for the district court to consider what 

claims, if any, in Green’s motion “ma[k]e a substantial showing of the denial of a 

constitutional right.” 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c).

VACATED AND REMANDED.
