UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

KENNY LYNN WARREN 

Petitioner, 

v. 

DOMINGO URIBE, JR., 

Respondent. 

No. 2:10-cv-2120-MCE-EFB P 

ORDER 

 Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding without counsel and in forma pauperis, filed an 

application for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Judgment was entered in 

this action on August 26, 2013 and the court declined to issue a certificate of appealability. 

Despite that ruling, petitioner now requests a certificate of appealability. ECF No. 68. As the 

court has already decided that petitioner is not entitled to a certificate of appealability, petitioner’s 

request is denied. Petitioner may, however, seek a certificate of appealability from the United 

States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit under Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 22. Rule 

11(a), Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases. 

 Petitioner also requests leave to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal. ECF No. 69. The 

Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure provide as follows:

A party who was permitted to proceed in forma pauperis in the 

district-court action . . . may proceed on appeal in forma pauperis 

without further authorization unless the district court . . . certifies 

that the appeal is not taken in good faith or finds that the party is 

not otherwise entitled to proceed in forma pauperis . . . . 

Fed. R. App. P. 24(a)(3). This court has not certified that petitioner’s appeal is not taken in good 

faith and has not otherwise found that plaintiff is not entitled to proceed on appeal in forma 

pauperis. Accordingly, petitioner’s motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal will 

be denied as unnecessary. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that petitioner’s request for a certificate of 

appealability and request to proceed in forma paupers (ECF No. 68, 69) are denied. 

Dated: October 8, 2013.
