United States Fifth Circuit

An application for a certificate of appealability (COA) brought by a prisoner under a sentence of death is denied over claims that a COA should issue to address whether the district court erred in: 1) denying substantive claims in a section 2255 motion; 2) limiting an evidentiary hearing; 3) denying all discovery; and 4) denying him reasonable additional funds to develop further evidence.
