DWYER, CLERK U.S. COURT OF APPEALS No. 24-5115 D.C. No. 3:23-cv-05574-MJP Western District of Washington, Tacoma ORDER JOHN BENTON RAGLAND, Petitioner Appellant, v. JASON BENNETT, Superintendent, Stafford Creek Corrections Center, Respondent Appellee. Before: SILVERMAN and SUNG, Circuit Judges. The request for a certificate of appealability (Docket Entry Nos. 7, 9, 10) is denied because appellant has not shown 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.” Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 484 (2000); see also 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2); Gonzalez v. Thaler, 565 U.S. 134, 140-41 (2012). Any pending motions are denied as moot. DENIED.
