CERTIFICATE OF APPEALABILITY
A final order having been filed in the above-captioned habeas case, the Court, considering
the record in this case, the requirements of 28 U.S.C. § 2253, and the Supreme Court’s decision
in Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 478 (2000), hereby finds that:
The certificate of appealability is DENIED because the applicant has failed to show that
jurists of reason would find it debatable whether the district court was correct in its procedural
ruling.
