ORDER DENYING CERTIFICATE

OF APPEALABILITY

(Docket No. 10)

On October 23, 2006, petitioner, a California prisoner proceeding pro se, filed the

above-titled petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, challenging a

1993 state court conviction. On April 11, 2007, respondent’s motion to dismiss the petition

as untimely was granted and judgment was entered. On May 15, 2007, petitioner filed a

motion for reconsideration, which motion was denied on June 21, 2007. Petitioner has now

filed a notice of appeal from the entry of judgment in respondent’s favor and a request for a

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

Procedure 22(b). See United States v. Asrar, 116 F.3d 1268, 1270 (9th Cir. 1997). Petitioner

has not shown, however, “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 hereby DENIED.

The Clerk shall forward this order, along with the case file, to the United States Court
