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 thedistrict court’s assessment ofthe 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

Petitioner’s claims do not satisfy either standard.

Done this 12 day of December 2014. th
