Petitioner's pro se petition for a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 challenging was denied on its merits, and a certificate of appealability was denied in the same order. Petitioner has filed a notice of appeal and a motion for leave to proceed on appeal in forma pauperis. The certificate of appealability was denied because "no reasonable jurist would find the denial of his claims debatable or wrong." Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 484 (2000). For the same reason, Petitioner's appeal is not taken in "good faith" and consequently leave to proceed on appeal in forma pauperis is DENIED. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3). IT IS SO ORDERED.
