ORDER: Because a COA is not required for an alien detainee to appeal from a judgment in a § 2241 proceeding, see Sawyer v. Holder, 326 F.3d 1363, 1364 n.3 (11th Cir. 2003) (explaining that 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c) only requires that a COA be obtained by state prisoners and by federal prisoners who seek to appeal a 28 U.S.C. § 2255 proceeding), Costa does not require a COA to appeal.
