IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ROGELIO HAMILTON RANGEL,

Plaintiff, 2:02-cv-1633-GEB-EFB-P

vs.

DR. DEEPAK MEHTA, 

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is a prisoner without counsel seeking relief for civil rights violations. See 42

U.S.C. § 1983. On August 14, 206, judgment was entered pursuant to court order granting

defendant’s motion for summary judgment. On September 5, 2006, plaintiff filed a motion for a

certificate of appealability. A certificate of appealability is necessary when a state prisoner is

seeking to appeal a district court’s denial or dismissal of a writ of habeas corpus. See 28 U.S.C.

§ 2253. Because this action was not a petition for writ of habeas corpus, no certificate of

appealability is necessary. 

Accordingly, it is ORDERED that plaintiff’s September 5, 2006, motion for a certificate

of appealability is denied as unnecessary.

Dated: October 9, 2007
