C.A. No. 17-468-WES

ORDER DENYING CERTIFICATE OF APPEALABILITY
On February 22, 2019, the Court entered a final order dismissing
Petitioner Stephen R. Mattatall’s petition for a writ of habeas corpus
under 28 U.S.C. § 2241, and the First Circuit Court of Appeals now
requests that a Certificate of Appealability either be issued or denied
by this Court.
This Court hereby finds that this case is not appropriate for the
issuance of a Certificate of Appealability because Mattatall has failed
to make a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right
as to any claim, as required by 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2).

In addition,

Mattatall has not demonstrated that “jurists of reason would find it
debatable whether the district court was correct in its procedural
ruling.”

Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 484 (2000).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
