Jean v. United States of America, No. 1:2018cv02888 - Document 6 (S.D.N.Y. 2018)

Court Description: OPINION re: 1 MOTION to Vacate, Set Aside or Correct Sentence (28 U.S.C. 2255). For the reasons set forth above, Jean has failed to show a basis for relief under 28 U. S.C. § 2255. Accordingly, his petition is denied. Because he has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right, I decline to issue a certificate of appealability. See 28 U.S.C. § 2253 (1996) (as amended by the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act). I certify pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that any appeal taken from this order would not be taken in good faith. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Denny Chin on 10/3/2018) (anc)
