Best v. Griffin
Filing 24
DECISION AND ORDER ADOPTING THE REPORT & RECOMMENDATION OF THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE RECOMMENDING THAT THE PETITION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS FILED PURSUANT TO 28 U.S.C. § 2254 BE DENIED re: 16 Report and Recommendations. Regarding Best's i neffective assistance of counsel claim, the Court adopts the reasoning of the magistrate without elaboration. The petition is denied. As Petitioner has made no substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right, there is no question of sub stance for appellate review. Therefore, no certificate of appealability shall issue. 28 U.S.C. § 2253; see United States v. Perez, 129 F. 3d 255, 259-60 (2d Cir. 1997); Lozada v. United States, 107 F. 3d 1011 (2d Cir. 1997); Rodriguez v. Scul ly, 905 F. 2d 24 (2d Cir. 1990). I certify, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a), that an appeal from this order would not be taken in good faith. Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438 (1962).
