OPINION AND ORDER DENYING CERTIFICATE OF APPEALABILITY

RONALD A. WHITE, District Judge.

Petitioner has filed a notice of intent to appeal the court's order entered March 24, 2014, denying his petition for a writ of habeas corpus. After a careful review of the record, the court concludes petitioner has failed to make a "substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right," as required by 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2). The court further finds that petitioner has not "demonstrate[d] that reasonable jurists would find [this] court's assessment of the constitutional claims debatable or wrong." Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 484 (2000).

ACCORDINGLY, petitioner is denied a certificate of appealability. See Rule 11(a) of the Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

FootNotes
