OPINION
2Per curiam
Wallace Deen-Mitchell appeals from the District Court’s denial of his habeas petition. We hold that Deen-Mitchell must obtain a certificate of appealability (“COA”) to proceed with this appeal, and we will deny his request for a COA.
Because we write primarily for the parties, we need only recite the facts necessary for our discussion. In 1991, a jury found Deen-Mitchell guilty of murder and other crimes in the District of Columbia. Mitchell v. United States, 629 A.2d 10, 11 (D.C.1993). He was sentenced to a term of life imprisonment and has since been confined to federal custody.
