ORDER DENYING CERTIFICATE OF APPEALABILITY

WILHELMINA M. WRIGHT, District Judge.

On February 21, 2019, the Court issued an Order rejecting the August 9, 2018 Report and Recommendation (R&R) of United States Magistrate Judge Franklin L. Noel and denying Petitioner Andre Verlin Anderson's petition for a writ of habeas corpus. (Dkt. 65.) The Order did not address whether a certificate of appealability should issue. Anderson subsequently filed a motion seeking a certificate of appealability. (Dkt. 67.)

A party seeking a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to Title 28, United States Code, Section 2254, may not appeal a district court's adverse ruling unless the district court grants the party a certificate of appealability. 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(1). A certificate of appealability may issue only if the habeas petitioner "has made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right." Id. § 2253(c)(2). This standard requires a showing that "reasonable jurists would find the district court's assessment of the constitutional claims debatable or wrong." Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 484 (2000). In light of the well-established standard of review, as applied in the Court's February 21, 2019 Order, no reasonable jurist would find this Court's assessment of Anderson's constitutional claims to be either debatable or wrong. See 28 U.S.C. § 2254(d); see also Woods v. Donald, 135 S.Ct. 1372, 1376 (2015) (stating that, for a habeas petitioner to succeed on a claim under Section 2254, a state court's decision on the merits must be "objectively unreasonable, not merely wrong" (quoting White v. Woodall, 572 U.S. 415, 419 (2014))).

Based on the foregoing analysis and all the files, records and proceedings herein, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Petitioner Andre Verlin Anderson's motion for a certificate of appealability, (Dkt. 67), is DENIED, and no certificate of appealability shall issue.
