 Having reviewed the Court’s August 11, 2016 Order (Doc. 18), IT IS HEREBY 

ORDERED that a certificate of appealability is DENIED, because reasonable jurists 

would not find the Court’s ruling debatable. See 28 U.S.C. § 2253. 

 Dated this 4th day of January, 2017. 

Honorable Bruce G. Macdonald

United States Magistrate Judge
