UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GERALD L. TUCKER,

Petitioner,

v.

STUART RYAN, WARDEN,

Respondent.

 /

CV F 04-5662 OWW DLB HC

Appeal No. 06-15826 

ORDER DISREGARDING PETITIONER’S

MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO

FILE CERTIFICATE OF APPEALABILITY

AND MOTION FOR CERTIFICATE OF

APPEALABILITY

[Doc. 51, 54] 

On March 29, 2006, the Court denied Petitioner’s petition for writ of habeas corpus filed

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, and judgment was entered in favor of Respondent on the same

date. 

On April 12, 2006, Petitioner filed a notice of appeal. Although no express request was

made for a certificate of appealability, the Court construed the notice of appeal as a request for a

certificate (see Fed. R.App. P. 22(b); United States v. Asrar, 108 F.3d 217, 218 (9th Cir. 1997)),

and denied the request on April 21, 2006. (Court Doc. 52.) 

On April 17, 2006, Petitioner filed a motion for extension of time to file a motion for a

certificate of appealability and, on May 4, 2006, Petitioner filed a motion for a certificate of

appealability. (Court Docs. 51, 54.) 

As the Court has previously issued an order denying Petitioner’s implied request for a

certificate of appealability, it is HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Petitioner’s motion for an extension of time to file a request for a certificate of

appealability and Petitioner’s motion for a certificate of appealability, are
