Petitioner's request for a certificate of appealability, see 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c), is DENIED.

(Docket # 23.) This is not a case in which "jurists of reason would find it debatable whether the

17

petition states a valid claim of the denial of a constitutional right and that jurists of reason would

find it debatable whether the district court was correct in its procedural ruling." Slack v. McDaniel,
