UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOSEPH JOHN ETCHEVERRY,

Petitioner,

v.

JEANNE WOODFORD,

Respondents.

 /

CV F 05-00454 OWW DLB HC

ORDER DEEMING REQUEST FOR

CERTIFICATE OF APPEALABILITY AS

UNNECESSARY

[Doc. 22]

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

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. 

On October 13, 2006, the instant petition for writ of habeas corpus was denied on the

merits and judgment was entered in favor of Respondent. (Court Doc. 18, 19.) On November

15, 2006, Petitioner filed a notice of appeal. Petitioner correctly notes that a certificate of

appealability is not necessary in the instant case because he is not challenging 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); White v. Lambert,

th

370 F.3d 1002, 1010-1013 (9 Cir. 2004) (no certificate of appealability required for denial of th

petition challenging parole or any other administrative decision by prison officials in making a

determination regarding the execution of prisoner’s sentence). IT IS SO ORDERED.
