ORDER DENYING CERTIFICATE OF APPEALABILITY *

Petitioner Keith Brooks, a state prisoner represented by counsel, seeks a certificate *774 of appealability to appeal the district court’s denial of his § 2254 habeas petition.

Following a Colorado jury trial, Petitioner was convicted of attempted first-degree murder of a peace officer, attempted second-degree murder, first-degree assault of a peace officer, felony'menacing, and first-degree burglary. He was adjudicated a habitual offender and sentenced to a 144-year term of imprisonment. On direct appeal, the Colorado Court of Appeals affirmed his convictions but vacated his sentence in part based on double jeopardy principles. Following resentencing, Petitioner filed a motion for state post-conviction relief. The state district court denied this motion, and the appellate court affirmed. The Colorado Supreme Court denied certiorari review.

Petitioner then filed the instant petition for federal habeas relief, in which he raised two claims previously raised in the state court proceeding: (1) he was denied a fair trial when the trial court allowed the prosecution to admit evidence of other burglaries; and (2) his right to effective assistance of counsel was violated when his trial lawyer failed to object to the jury instructions on complicity and when his appellate counsel failed to raise this issue on appeal. The district court concluded that the state courts’ rejection of these claims was not contrary to clearly established federal law or based on an unreasonable determination of the facts, and the court therefore denied habeas relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2254(d).

Petitioner seeks a certificate of appeala-bility to appeal the denial of his claim of ineffective assistance of counsel. After thoroughly reviewing Petitioner’s arguments and the record on appeal, we are persuaded that reasonable jurists would not debate the correctness of the district court’s resolution of this claim. See Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 484, 120 S.Ct. 1595, 146 L.Ed.2d 542 (2000).

Therefore, for substantially the same reasons given by the district court in its thorough and- well-reasoned opinion, we DENY Petitioner’s request for a certificate of appealability and DISMISS the appeal.
