Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM: Haneef Khalil Rashe'd seeks to appeal the district
court's order dismissing his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (2006) petition. The order is not appealable unless a circuit justice or judge issues a certificate of appealability. See 28 U.S.C.

have independently reviewed the record and conclude that Rashe'd has not made the requisite showing. Accordingly, we deny
Rashe'd's motion for a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal. We dispense with oral argument because the facts
and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process. DISMISSED
