                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                      for the Southern District of Georgia
                         ________________________

                                  (April 15, 2015)

Before WILLIAM PRYOR, JULIE CARNES and FAY, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

      William Green, a federal prisoner, appeals the dismissal sua sponte of his

third motion to vacate as untimely. See 28 U.S.C. § 2255(f). The district court
              Case: 13-14386     Date Filed: 04/15/2015    Page: 2 of 2


issued a certificate of appealability on two issues: (1) “Whether Stewart v. United

States, 
646 F.3d 856
(11th Cir. 2011), justifies equitable tolling of 28 U.S.C.

§ 2255(f)’s one year statute of limitations given Green’s diligent pursuit of his

claims both pre- and post-Stewart”; and (2) “Whether the Stewart decision itself

constitutes a new fact that restarts the one year limitations period.” But the

certificate fails to identify an issue of constitutional magnitude. See Spencer v.

United States, 
773 F.3d 1132
, 1137 (11th Cir. 2014) (en banc). We vacate the

certificate of appealability and remand for the district court to consider what

claims, if any, in Green’s motion “ma[k]e a substantial showing of the denial of a

constitutional right.” 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c).

      VACATED AND REMANDED.
