ORDER

JOSE FUSTE, District Judge

Petitioner, Jessie Quinones-Torres, requests a certificate of appealability from this court to appeal our denial on May 25, 2005, of his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 petition. Docket Document No. 12;see 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2) (1994 Supp. 2005). A certificate of appealability may be granted only upon a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right. 28 U.S.C. §§ 2253(c)(2) and (3).

Upon reviewing the record, we find Petitioner's claim entirely insubstantial for the reasons stated in the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation. Docket Document No. 11. Accordingly, we DENY Petitioner's request for a certificate of appealability.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
