MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

MORRISON C. ENGLAND, Jr., Chief District Judge.

Rodney Butler ("Movant"), a federal prisoner proceeding pro se, has timely filed a notice of appeal of this court's July 25, 2013 denial of his motion to vacate, set aside or correct his sentence pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255. (ECF No. 141.) Before movant can appeal this decision, a certificate of appealability must issue. 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c); Fed. R. App. P. 22(b).

A certificate of appealability may issue under 28 U.S.C. § 2253 "only if the applicant has made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right." 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2). The court must either issue a certificate of appealability indicating which issues satisfy the required showing or must state the reasons why such a certificate should not issue. Fed. R. App. P. 22(b).

For the reasons set forth in the Court's July 25, 2013 Order, Movant has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right. (ECF No. 138.) Accordingly, a certificate of appealability should not issue in this action.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
