[Doc. 21]

On October 18, 2004, Petitioner’s petition for writ of habeas corpus filed pursuant to 28

 (b) There shall be no right of appeal from a final order in a proceeding to test the

 (A) the final order in a habeas corpus proceeding in which the 

detention complained of arises out of process issued by a State 

court; or

 (B) the final order in a proceeding under section 2255.

 (2) A certificate of appealability may issue under paragraph (1) only if the 

applicant has made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right.

 (3) The certificate of appealability under paragraph (1) shall indicate which 

specific issue or issues satisfy the showing required by paragraph (2).

In the present case, the Court finds that Petitioner has not made the required substantial

showing of the denial of a constitutional right. Accordingly, Petitioner’s request for a certificate

of appealability is DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
