MATT OWENS, Petitioner, v. STATE OF ALASKA, Respondent.
ORDER
SHARON L. GLEASON, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
On March 4, 2024, at Docket 50, the U.S. Court of Appeals remanded this matter for the limited purpose of granting or denying a Certificate of Appealability.
This Court finds that a Certificate of Appealability is not warranted in this case, as jurists of reason would not find it debatable that the high bar for equitable tolling of the statute of limitations in the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act (“AEDPA”) was not met in this case. 28 U.S.C. § 2244(d); Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 484 (2000).
