Opinion
Cause No. 3:06-CV-161 RM, (Arising out of 3:04-CR-121 RM).
April 3, 2006
OPINION and ORDER
On March 10, 2006, the court denied Lori Ann Corpe's petition filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255 based on Ms. Corpe's waiver, in her plea agreement, of her right to appeal and to file a habeas petition. Ms. Corpe has filed an appeal of that order, which the court will construe as including a motion for a certificate of appealability.
Issuance of a certificate of appealability requires the court to find that Ms. Corpe has made "a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right." 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2). She has not done so. In her plea agreement, Ms. Corpe waived her right to file an appeal and a petition under § 2255, and she hasn't alleged or advanced any claims relating to the negotiation of her plea agreement. See United States v. Williams, 184 F.3d 666 (7th Cir. 1999); Jones v. United States, 167 F.3d 1142 (7th Cir. 1999).
Accordingly, Ms. Corpe's request for a certificate of appealability is DENIED.
SO ORDERED.
