ORDER

This cause is now before the court on petitioner's

motion and request for certificate of appealability (Doc.

Nos. 26 & 28). 

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.
