Date Filed Document Text
February 28, 2013 Opinion or Order Filing 8 MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER: Petitioner's Motion to Amend is denied for the reasons stated above. The final issue is whether this Court should issue a Certificate of Appealability (COA"). For a COA to issue, a petitioner must make a " substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right. A "substantial showing" does not require a petitioner to demonstrate that he would prevail on the merits, but merely that "reasonable jurists could debate whether the petitio n should have been resolved in a different manner or that the issues presented were 'adequate to deserve encouragement to proceed further." Petitioner has made no such showing. Accordingly, this Court declines to issue a Certificate of Appe alability. The Court certifies pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that any appeal from this Memorandum Opinion and Order would not be taken in good faith and, therefore, in forma pauperis status is denied for the purpose of appeal. The Clerk of the Court is directed to close petitioner's Motion to Amend (Docket Entry # 7 in case number 12 Civ. 8673; Docket Entry # 260 in case number 99 CR 1113). SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Shira A. Scheindlin on 2/27/2013) (ama)

The Court certifies pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that any appeal from this Order would not be taken in good faith and therefore in forma pauperis status is denied for the purpose of an appeal.
