The court stated that Feliz had not made a substantial showing that a constitutional right was denied, as required by 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2).
The court also certified under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that any appeal from the order would not be taken in good faith. The opinion does not describe the underlying claims, the earlier ruling, or the specific post-conviction proceeding at issue.
