ORDER DENYING

CERTIFICATE OF

APPEALABILITY; GRANTING

LEAVE TO PROCEED IN

FORMA PAUPERIS ON

APPEAL

(Docket No. 10)

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed this petition for a writ of habeas

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. The court granted respondent’s motion to dismiss the

petition. Petitioner has filed a notice of appeal, which the court construes as including a request

for a certificate of appealability pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c) and Federal Rule of Appellate

Procedure 22(b). Petitioner has not shown “that jurists of reason would find it debatable whether

the petition states a valid claim of the denial of a constitutional right and that jurists of reason

would find it debatable whether the district court was correct in its procedural ruling.” Slack v.

McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 484 (2000). Accordingly, the request for a certificate of appealability

is DENIED.
