See Chang v. United States, 250 F.3d 79, 86 (2d Cir. 2001) (in claims of ineffective assistance, affirming district court's decision to forego a full testimonial hearing where the court \"reasonably decided that the testimony of [the defendant] and his trial counsel would add little or nothing to the written submissions\"). Furthermore, Pierre-Louis has not made a substantial showing of a denial of a federal right, so no certificate of appealability shall issue. See, e.g., Hamilton v. Superintendent, 2017 WL 1944114, at *6 (S.D.N.Y. 2017) (declining to issue a Certificate of Appealability \"because Petitioner has failed to identify a claim that jurists ofreason would find debatable as to whether Petitioner was denied such a right) (citing Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473,478 (2000)); Prousalis v. United States, 2018 WL 3471811, at *5 (DLC) (S.D.N.Y. 2018) (citing Hojjl.er v. Bezio, 726 F.3d 144, 154 (2d Cir. 2013); Tankleffv.

The Court finds that any appeal by Pierre-Louis from its Order would not be taken in good faith, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3). Id. (citing Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438,445 (1962)).
