JOSEPH A. JACKSON, Petitioner, v. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Respondent.
JUDGMENT
For the reasons expressed in the memorandum opinion filed contemporaneously with this judgment, it is ORDERED and ADJUDGED that the motion [doc. 984] by federal prisoner Joseph A. Jackson for post-conviction relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255 is DENIED and DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.
If petitioner files a notice of appeal from this judgment, such notice of appeal will be treated as an application for a certificate of appealability which is DENIED pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2) and Fed. R. App. P. 22(b) because he has failed to make a substantial showing of the denial of a federal constitutional right. The Court CERTIFIES pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) and Fed. R. App. P. 24 that any appeal from this judgment by petitioner would be frivolous and not taken in good faith. Accordingly, the Clerk is DIRECTED to CLOSE the civil case associated with petitioner's § 2255 motion.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
