OPINION AND ORDER
DENYING CERTIFICATE OF APPEALABILITY
On this date the court dismissed petitioner’s petition for a writ of habeas corpus
as barred by the statute of limitations. After careful review of the record, the court
concludes petitioner has not shown “at least, that jurists of reason would find it
debatable whether the petition states a valid claim of the denial of a constitutional right
and that jurists of reason would find it debatable whether [this] court was correct in its
procedural ruling.” Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 484 (2000). See also 28 U.S.C. §
2253(c).
Accordingly, petitioner is denied a certificate of appealability.

IT IS SO ORDERED this 27th day of July 2011.
