UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MICHAEL S. BANKUTHY,

Petitioner,

v.

JEANNE WOODFORD, Director C.D.C.

Respondent.

 /

CV F 05-00696 AWI DLB HC

ORDER DEEMING REQUEST FOR

CERTIFICATE OF APPEALABILITY

UNNECESSARY

[Doc. 17]

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a petition for writ of habeas corpus

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. 

On April 12, 2007, the instant petition for writ of habeas corpus was denied and judgment

was entered in favor of Respondent. On May 4, 2007, Petitioner filed a notice of appeal noting

that a certificate of appealability is not required. (Court Doc. 17.) Petitioner is correct, a

certificate of appealability is not necessary in the instant case because he did not challenge the

validity of his conviction, but rather the execution of his sentence. As such, no certificate of

appealability is necessary. See Rosas v. Nielsen, 428 F.3d 1229, 1231-1232 (9 Cir. 2005); th

White v. Lambert, 370 F.3d 1002, 1010-1013 (9 Cir. 2004) (no certificate of appealability th

required for denial of petition challenging parole or any other administrative decision by prison

officials in making a determination regarding the execution of prisoner’s sentence).
