ORDER

Today, I denied the defendant's motion for reconsideration of the denial of a certificate of appealability. The defendant "must make a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right" to obtain such a certificate; that is, "a showing that [the] issues are debatable among reasonable jurists, a court could resolve the issues differently, or the issues deserve further proceedings." Garrett v. United States, 211 F.3d 1075, 1076 (8th Cir. 2000) (citations omitted) (denying a certificate regarding a § 2255 motion for, among other reasons, because the issue raised was clearly foreclosed by a prior decision of Court of Appeals). The entirety of the Memorandum and Order denying the defendant's § 2255 motion, and particularly "Point 7" thereof, make clear why the certificate should not be issued in this case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
