UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SADIQ SAIBU, Civil No. 10-0844-CAB

Petitioner,

ORDER DENYING CERTIFICATE OF

v. APPEALABILITY

BRENDA M. CASH, Warden

Respondent.

On August 5, 2011, this Court entered judgment denying the petition for a writ of habeas

corpus filed in this case. 

Rule 11 of the Federal Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases states, “[t[he district court

must issue or deny a certificate of appealability when it enters a final order adverse to the

applicant.” A certificate of appealability should be issued only where the petition presents “a

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

this threshold showing, Petitioner must show that: (1) the issues are debatable among jurists of

reason, (2) that a court could resolve the issues in a different manner, or (3) that the questions

are adequate to deserve encouragement to proceed further. Lambright v. Stewart, 220 F.3d

1022, 1024-25 (9th Cir. 2000) (citing Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473 (2000); Barefoot v.

Estelle, 463 U.S. 880 (1983)).

In this case, the Court finds that the issues are not debatable among jurists of reason, nor

could the issues be resolved in a different manner. Further, the Court finds that the questions

are not adequate to deserve encouragement to proceed further. Accordingly, the Court DENIES

a certificate of appealability. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
