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. See Rule 11 (a)
of the Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases.
