Respondent-Appellee.
Order
After denying Julio Jose Leon Sanchez’s motion for relief under 28 U.S.C. §2255,
the district judge stated that reasonable persons could disagree with her decision and
issued a certificate of appealability. This certificate does not comply with 28 U.S.C.
§2253(c)(3) because it does not identify the issue for appeal or state why that issue
∗ This successive appeal has been submitted to the original panel under Operating Procedure 6(b). After
examining the briefs and the record, we have concluded that oral argument is unnecessary. See Fed. R.
App. P. 34(a); Cir. R. 34(f).

satisfies the requirement of subsection (b)(2) that the appeal present a “substantial
showing of the denial of a constitutional right.” The district court’s certificate therefore
is vacated. Davis v. Borgen, 349 F.3d 1027 (7th Cir. 2003).
We have reviewed the district court’s opinion and appellant’s brief. For the
reasons explained in the district court’s thorough opinion, none of the arguments
presented by appellant is substantial. Sanchez therefore is not entitled to a certificate of
appealability in this court, and the appeal is dismissed.
