JAZMINE SHAWN'TE HOWARD, Petitioner, v. ABOUTANAA EL HABTI, Warden, Respondent.
ORDER
TIMOTHY D. DEGIUSTI CHIEF UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
On February 3, 2023, this Court issued an order denying Petitioner Jazmine Shawn'te Howard's petition for writ of habeas corpus. See 2/3/23 Order [Doc. No. 19]. Pursuant to Rule 11(a) of the Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases, the Court must issue or deny a certificate of appealability (“COA”) when it enters a final order adverse to a petitioner. A COA may issue only upon “a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right.” 28 U.S.C. §2253(c)(2). “A petitioner satisfies this standard by demonstrating that jurists of reason could disagree with the district court's resolution of his constitutional claims or that jurists could conclude the issues presented are adequate to deserve encouragement to proceed further.” Miller El v. Cockrell, 537 U.S. 322, 327 (2003). Upon consideration, the Court finds the requisite standard is not met in this case. Therefore, a COA is denied.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
