state the reasons why such a certificate should not issue. See Fed. R. App. P. 22(b). For the

reasons set forth in the magistrate judge’s May 26, 2006, findings and recommendations,

petitioner has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that petitioner’s request for a certificate

of appealability is denied.
