 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(1)(B) requires a party appealing the denial of a § 2255 motion to obtain a certificate of appealability.  This requirement became effective April 24, 1996, and is not applied retroactively to this § 2255 appeal, which was filed on April 18, 1996.  See United States v. Lopez, 100 F.3d 113, 117 (10th Cir.1996)
