ORDER 
 AND NOW, this 18th day of June 2026, in accordance with the 
accompanying Memorandum, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 
1. Petitioner Nicole Vandyke’s petition for a writ of habeas corpus 
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 is DENIED. 
 
2. A certificate of appealability shall not issue, as Vandyke has not made 
a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right, see 28 
U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2), or that “jurists of reason would find it debatable” 
whether this Court’s procedural rulings are correct, Slack v. 
McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 484 (2000). 
 
3. The Clerk of Court is directed to CLOSE this case. 
 
 
BY THE COURT:
