Opinion
CRIMINAL ACTION NO. 08-00261
11-07-2012
JUDGE ROBERT G. JAMES
MAG. JUDGE KAREN L. HAYES
CERTIFICATE OF APPEALABILITY
A final order having been filed in the above-captioned habeas case, the Court, considering the record in this case and the requirements of 28 U.S.C. § 2253, hereby finds that the certificate of appealability is DENIED as to Petitioner's first four claims because he has failed to show that jurists of reason would find it debatable whether the district court was correct in its procedural ruling on these claims. The Court further finds that a certificate of appealability is DENIED on Petitioner's fifth claim because he has failed to make a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right.
MONROE, LOUISIANA, this 7th day of November, 2012.
