UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

		Plaintiff-Appellee,

v.

ANTHONY TAYLOR,

		Defendant-Appellant.	

No.  97-3301
(D.C. No. 95-CR-10033
 &
97-3331-MLB)
(D. Kan.)	

	ORDER AND JUDGMENT*

Before TACHA, LOGAN, and LUCERO, Circuit Judges.

	Defendant seeks review of the district court’s order denying his motion to modify, vacate, or set aside his sentence pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255.  Before defendant may proceed on appeal, however, he must secure a certificate of appealability from this court, which requires “a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right.”  28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2).  Based upon our review of the record as a whole, we conclude that defendant has failed to make such a showing.
	Defendant’s motion to file a reply brief is GRANTED, with the exception of those attachments to the brief that were not before the district court. Defendant’s application for a certificate of appealability is DENIED, and the appeal is DISMISSED.
	The mandate shall issue forthwith.
