ORDER

This cause is now before the court on petitioner's

notice of appeal (Doc. No. 130), which the court is

treating as a motion for certificate of appealability. 

To obtain a certificate of appealability the prisoner

must make a "substantial showing of the denial of a

constitutional right." 28 U.S.C.A. § 2253(c)(2). The

court finds that the petitioner has failed to make this

showing.

Accordingly, it is ORDERED that petitioner's motion

for a certificate of appealability is denied.

DONE, this the 21st day of March, 2006.
