ORDER DENYING PETITIONER’S MOTION FOR

CERTIFICATE OF APPEALABILITY [Doc. 27]

Lino Manuel Perez (“Petitioner”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a petition for writ

of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. 

On March 28, 2010, Petitioner filed a motion for a certificate of appealability. Petitioner has

filed notice of appeal pertaining to the Court’s March 1, 2010, order denying the petition for writ of

habeas corpus. The controlling statute in determining whether to issue a certificate of appealability

is 28 U.S.C. § 2253, which provides as follows:

(a) In a habeas corpus proceeding or a proceeding under section 2255 before a 

district judge, the final order shall be subject to review, on appeal, by the court

of appeals for the circuit in which the proceeding is held.

(b) There shall be no right of appeal from a final order in a proceeding to test the

validity of a warrant to remove to another district or place for commitment or trial a

person charged with a criminal offense against the United States, or to test the validity

of such person's detention pending removal proceedings.

(c)(1) Unless a circuit justice or judge issues a certificate of appealability, an appeal

may not be taken to the court of appeals from–

(A) the final order in a habeas corpus proceeding in which the detention

complained of arises out of process issued by a State court; or

(B) the final order in a proceeding under section 2255.

 (2) A certificate of appealability may issue under paragraph (1) only if the applicant

has made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right.

 (3) The certificate of appealability under paragraph (1) shall indicate which specific

issue or issues satisfy the showing required by paragraph (2).

Initially, the Court notes that it has previously declined to issue a certificate of appealability

in the March 1, 2010 order. Petitioner has failed to provide any additional arguments that would

suggest such a decision was erroneous. In the present case, reasonable jurists would not find the

Court’s determination that Petitioner is not entitled to federal habeas corpus relief debatable, wrong,

or deserving of encouragement to proceed further. Petitioner has not made the required substantial

showing of the denial of a constitutional right. Accordingly, the Court hereby ORDERS that

Petitioner's request for a certificate of appealability is DENIED. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
