Opinion
No. CIV 11-025-FHS-KEW
03-14-2012
CHESTER SANDERS, III, Petitioner, v. EMMA WATTS, Warden, Respondent.
OPINION AND ORDER
DENYING CERTIFICATE OF APPEALABILITY
On March 12, 2012, the court affirmed and adopted the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation and denied petitioner's petition for a writ of habeas corpus. After a careful review of the record, the court concludes petitioner has not shown "at least, that jurists of reason would find it debatable whether the petition states a valid claim of the denial of a constitutional right and that jurists of reason would find it debatable whether [this] court was correct in its procedural ruling." Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 484 (2000). See also 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c).
ACCORDINGLY, petitioner is denied a certificate of appealability.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 14th day of March, 2012.
