Before the Court is Shakita Eason's Notice of Appeal. ECF No. 7. The Court construes a
notice of appeal as a request for a Certificate of Appealability ("COA"). See Edwards v. United States,
114 F.3d 1083, 1084 (11th Cir. 1997). The Magistrate Judge issued a Report and Recommendation
("R&R"), in which the Judge recommended that Eason be denied a COA. ECF No. 2 at 10. The Court
adopted the R&R as the opinion of the Court. ECF No. 5. Therefore, the COA is denied for the
reasons set forth in the R&R.
Eason has not explicitly requested the right to appeal in forma pauperis ("IFP"). See ECF No.
7. However, the Court notes that it already denied Eason IFP status on appeal when it adopted the
R&R. ECF No. 2 at 10. Therefore, Eason should be assessed the full filing fee of $505.
Eason's request for a COA, ECF No. 7, is DENIED.
