BRYON C. KOELLER, Petitioner, v. MELISSA ANDREWJESKI, Respondent.
ORDER DENYING CERTIFICATE OF APPEALABILITY
TANA LIN, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
This matter is before the Court on Petitioner's Motion for Certificate of Appealability. Dkt. No. 31. “A certificate of appealability may issue . . . only if the [petitioner] has made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right.” 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2). A petitioner can satisfy 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) (citing Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 484 (2000)). Neither Mr. Koeller's objections to the Report and Recommendation nor his motion meet this standard. See Dkt. Nos. 26, 31. The Court therefore DENIES Mr. Koeller's request for a certificate of appealability.
