vs.

ORDER

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Respondent.
____________________
This matter is before the court pursuant to the movant’s pro se motion for a
certificate of appealability (docket no. 8). Movant filed the above captioned motion
(docket no. 1) pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255 on April 10, 2017. The court conducted an
initial review and denied movant’s motion for a number of reasons, including procedural
default. (See docket no. 2). The court also denied a certificate of appealability. Id.
Movant subsequently filed a notice of appeal (docket no. 4) and requested a
certificate of appealability from both this court and the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals.
The Eighth Circuit denied the movant’s request (docket no. 9). Accordingly, movant’s
motion for a certificate of appealability (docket no. 8) is denied for the reasons set out
in the court’s previous order.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
DATED this 9th day of April, 2018.
