    Defendant - Appellant.
    ORDER DENYING CERTIFICATE OF APPEALABILITY*
    Before HARTZ, McKAY, and MATHESON, Circuit Judges.
    Appellant seeks a certificate of appealability to appeal the district court’s dismissal
    of his 
    28 U.S.C. § 2255
     habeas petition.
    In 2010, Appellant was convicted on several tax evasion charges and sentenced to
    180 months’ imprisonment. We affirmed his convictions and sentence on direct appeal.
    United States v. Springer, 444 F. App’x 256 (10th Cir. 2011). Appellant then filed the
    instant § 2255 petition, in which he raised seventy-six grounds for relief. The district
    court dismissed the majority of these grounds as procedurally barred, then concluded that
    *
    This order is not binding precedent except under the doctrines of law of the case,
    res judicata, and collateral estoppel. It may be cited, however, for its persuasive value
    consistent with Fed. R. App. P. 32.1 and 10th Cir. R. 32.1.
    each of the remaining grounds failed on the merits.
    We have thoroughly reviewed the appellate record and Appellant’s filings on
    appeal, as well as the applicable legal standards. Having done so, we conclude that
    reasonable jurists would not debate the correctness of the district court’s comprehensive
    orders disposing of this case. We accordingly DENY Appellant’s request for a certificate
    of appealability and DISMISS the appeal. We DENY Appellant’s motion to proceed in
    forma pauperis on appeal. All other pending motions are likewise DENIED.
    ENTERED FOR THE COURT
