July 30, 2018 Opinion or Order Filing 55 OPINION & ORDER: For the reasons stated above and in its September 5, 2017 Opinion, the Court reiterates its finding that a reconstruction hearing should be attempted. The writ of habeas corpus is held in abeyance. The parties are directed to consult with each other and submit in writing to the Court on or before August 24, 2018, an agreed-upon date when the reconstruction hearing discussed above can be held, where trial counsel for Petitioner and the prosecutor for the County shall be in attend ance to provide testimony. In the alternative, Respondent may provide, in writing, good cause demonstrating the need for additional time to coordinate such a hearing. While the Court is of the opinion that, after entry of a final order in this matter , Petitioner will have presented a constitutional claim the resolution of which "reasonable jurists" could find "debatable"-warranting the issuance of a certificate of appealability, see Miller-El v. Cockrell, 537 U.S. 322, 338 (2 003)-a certificate will not issue at this juncture because an appeal of this interim order would be premature in light of the hearing ordered above. See 28 U.S.C.§ 2253(a). Additionally, 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 purposes of an appeal.
