OPINION AND ORDER
DENYING CERTIFICATE OF APPEALABILITY
On this date the court dismissed petitioner’s petition for a writ of habeas corpus for
failure to exhaust administrative and state court remedies. 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 3rd day of August, 2011.
