UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF MISSOURI EASTERN DIVISION JERRY LEE HUSKEY, JR., ) Petitioner, Vv. Case No. 4:23-cv-01197-SRC DORIS FALKENRATH, Respondent. Order When the Court dismissed this action, it certified in writing that an appeal from the dismissal would not be taken in good faith. See doc. 11 at 9; doc. 12;

(a)(3). As a result, the Court denies Jerry Huskey’s [15] Motion for Leave to Proceed In Forma Pauperis. In addition, the Court denies Huskey’s [16] Application for Certificate of Appealability because Huskey has failed to show “that jurists of reason would find it debatable whether the petition states a valid claim of the denial of a constitutional right and that jurists of reason would find it debatable whether the district court was correct in its procedural ruling.” Jimenez v. Quarterman,

, 118 n.3 (2009) (quoting Slack v. McDaniel,

(2000)). So ordered this 22nd day of August 2024.
