UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

EDWARD V. SHELL,

Petitioner,

CASE NO. 08-CV-2159 H (POR)

ORDER DENYING MOTION

FOR A CERTIFICATE OF

APPEALABILITY

vs.

MATTHEW C. KRAMER, Warden,

Respondent.

On September 3, 2009 the Court dismissed without prejudice Petitioner’s motion for

habeas relief as a successive habeas motion pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2244(b)(3)(A). (Doc. No.

16.) Petitioner was given leave to obtain permission from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals

to file a successive petition. (Id.) On September 10, 2009, the Court received Petitioner’s

motion for a certificate of appealability. (Doc. No. 17.) A certificate of appealability requires

“a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right.” 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2). The

Court concludes that Petitioner does not meet this standard and DENIES the request for a

certificate of appealability. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: September 14, 2009
