No. 09-70010.
March 9, 2010.
Robert M. Rosenberg, Port Angeles, WA, for Petitioner-Appellant.
Stephen M. Hoffman, Office of the Attorney General, Austin, TX, for Respondent-Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, USDC No. 4:08-CV-1216.
Before HIGGINBOTHAM, OWEN, and ELROD, Circuit Judges.
After reviewing the record, we conclude that Adams has failed to make a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right, and — for essentially the reasons stated by the district court — we DENY his request for a certificate of appealability (COA) on all issues raised therein.
