ORDER DENYING CERTIFICATE

OF APPEALABILITY AND

DENYING LEAVE TO PROCEED IN

FORMA PAUPERIS ON APPEAL

(Docket Nos. 6 & 7)

Petitioner, a federal prisoner currently incarcerated at the Federal Correctional

Institution Dublin and proceeding pro se, filed the above-titled petition for a writ of habeas

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. On December 22, 2006, the petition was dismissed,

and on December 29, 2006, petitioner filed a notice of appeal and a motion for leave to

proceed in forma pauperis on appeal. 

The Court construes the notice of appeal 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). 

See United States v. Asrar, 116 F.3d 1268, 1270 (9th Cir. 1997). 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.” See Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 484

(2000). Accordingly, the request for a certificate of appealability is DENIED.

Additionally, the Court does not certify that the appeal is taken in good faith, and,

consequently, the application to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal is DENIED.

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

of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, from which petitioner also may seek a certificate of

appealability. See Asrar, 116 F.3d at 1270.

This order terminates Docket Nos. 6 and 7.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
