ORDER DENYING MOTION

FOR CERTIFICATE OF

APPEALABILITY

[Doc. 91]

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding with a petition for writ of habeas corpus

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On March 20, 2006, the undersigned issued a Memorandum

Opinion and Order denying the petition for writ of habeas corpus. Judgment for Respondent

was entered the same day.

On April 12, 2006, Petitioner filed an application for a certificate of appealability. 

The controlling statute, 28 U.S.C. § 2253, provides as follows:

(a) In a habeas corpus proceeding or a proceeding under section 2255 before a district

judge, the final order shall be subject to review, on appeal, by the court of appeals for

the circuit in which the proceeding is held.

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

validity of a warrant to remove to another district or place for commitment or trial a

person charged with a criminal offense against the United States, or to test the

validity of such person's detention pending removal proceedings.

(c)(1) Unless a circuit justice or judge issues a certificate of appealability, an appeal

may not be taken to the court of appeals from--

(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 failed to carry his burden of

making a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right. Accordingly,

Petitioner’s request for a certificate of appealability is HEREBY DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
