Description
In appeal number 98-8111, Petitioner Craig Thomas Rodgers seeks to appeal the district court's denial of his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 habeas petition, brought on the ground of ineffective assistance of counsel. By construing his request for a certificate of probable cause as the functional equivalent of a formal notice of appeal, this court determines that Rodgers has complied with the jurisdictional requirements of Rules 3 and 4 of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure. The appeal may not proceed, however, because Rodgers has failed to make a "substantial showing of the denial of [a] federal right." Barefoot v. Estelle, 463 U.S. 880, 893 (1983) (quotation omitted). *fn1 Accordingly, this court denies a certificate of probable cause and dismisses the appeal. *fn2
