April 4, 2017	Filing 6 OPINION & ORDER: In light of the Supreme Court's unambiguous resolution of the only issue raised by this 18 U.S.C. § 2255 motion, Flores's petition to vacate his sentence is DENIED. Because this motion makes no substantial showing of a denial of a constitutional right, a certificate of appealability will not issue. See 28 U.S.C. § 2253(2). In addition, 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. Cf. Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 444-45 (1962). SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Sidney H. Stein on 04/04/2017) (ama) Modified on 4/4/2017 (ama).
