IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

WESTERN DIVISION

MICHAEL ANDERSON PETITIONER

VS. CASE NO. 5:07CV00203 JMM

LARRY NORRIS, DIRECTOR,

ARKANSAS DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTION RESPONDENT

ORDER

Pending before the Court is petitioner’s Motion for a Certificate of Appealability.

For this Court to grant a certificate of appealability, the petitioners must make a “substantial

showing of the denial of a constitutional right.” 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2); Hubbeling v. United States, 288

F.3d 363 (8th Cir. 2002) . A “substantial showing” is one in which a petitioner demonstrates that his

“‘issues are debatable among jurists of reason; that a court could resolve the issues [in a different

manner]; or that the questions are adequate to deserve encouragement to proceed further.’” Randolph v.

Kemna, 276 F.3d 401, 402 n.1 (8th Cir.2002) (citing Barefoot v. Estelle, 463 U.S. 880, 893 (1983)). 

Petitioner has failed to make a substantial showing of the denial of any constitutional right and

his Motion for Certificate of Appealability is denied.

IT IS SO ORDERED this 8 day of April, 2008.
