KELLY, Circuit Judge.
Defendant-Appellant Laura Wetzel-Sanders appeals from the district court’s denial of a joint motion by the parties to vacate her sentence, 28 U.S.C. § 2255. United States v. Wetzel-Sanders, No. 04-40156-SAC, 2014 WL 5502407 (D.Kan. Oct. 30, 2014). The district court denied the motion, but granted a certificate of appealability (COA). 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(1)(B).
