Description
Pro se appellant Gilbert Espinoza-Saenz seeks a certificate of appealability to appeal the district courts denial of his 28 U.S.C. Γ§ 2255 motion to vacate his criminal sentence and the courts denial of his request to amend his motion out of time. In order for this court to grant a certificate of appealability, defendant must make a "substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right." 28 U.S.C. Γ§ 2253(c)(2). In addressing the requirements of obtaining a certificate of appealability under Γ§ 2253(c), the Supreme Court recently stated that a defendant must show a substantial denial of a constitutional right by demonstrating "reasonable jurists could debate whether (or, for that matter, agree that) the petition should have been resolved in a different manner or that the issues presented were `adequate to deserve encouragement to proceed further." Slack v. McDaniel, 120 S. Ct. 1595, 1603-04 (2000) (quoting Barefoot v. Estelle, 463 U.S. 880, 893 and n.4 (1983)) (further quotation omitted).
