OPINION
_________________________
KETHLEDGE, Circuit Judge. Serwan Mizori appeals the district court’s order denying
his motion under Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 4(a)(5) for an extension of time to file a
notice of appeal as to the court’s earlier order denying his motion under 28 U.S.C. § 2255. We
hold that Mizori does not need a certificate of appealability to appeal the denial of his Rule
4(a)(5) motion and that the district court abused its discretion by denying that motion. |
