1Opinion of the Court
EDITH H. JONES, Chief Judge:
Petitioner Marcus Ray Tyrone Druery (“Petitioner”) was convicted of capital murder and sentenced to death by a Texas court. After failing to obtain relief in state court or the United States Supreme Court, Petitioner sought a federal habeas petition, which the district court denied. The district court also denied Petitioner a certifícate of appealability (“COA”). Petitioner now asks this court to grant him a COA pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2258. After reviewing the record and the parties’ briefing, we conclude that the motion should be DENIED.
