This court may issue a certificate of appealability “only if the applicant has a 

made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right.” 28 U.S.C. 

2253(c)(2). To make such a showing, a “petitioner must demonstrate that 

reasonable jurists would find the district court’s assessment of the constitutional 

claims debatable or wrong,” Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 484 (2000), or that 

“the issues presented were adequate to deserve encouragement to proceed further.” 

Miller-El v. Cockrell, 537 U.S. 322, 336 (2003) (internal quotations omitted). This 

court finds Zerrick Naylor’s claims do not satisfy either standard. 

DONE the 28th day of July, 2016.
