ORDER DENYING REQUEST FOR

CERTIFICATE OF APPEALABILITY

Petitioner, a California prisoner, filed a pro se petition for a writ of habeas corpus

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, challenging his state conviction. On January 15, 2010,

the Court dismissed the petition as a second or successive petition. (See Docket No 7.) 

Petitioner has filed a notice of appeal which the Court construes as a request for a

certificate of appealability, (Docket No. 9).

Petitioner has not shown “that jurists of reason would find it debatable whether

the petition states a valid claim of the denial of a constitutional right and that jurists of

reason would find it debatable whether the district court was correct in its procedural

ruling.” Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 484 (2000). Accordingly, the request for a

certificate of appealability is DENIED.

The Clerk shall forward this order, along with the case file, to the United States
