IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DANNY GARCIA,

Petitioner, No. 2:08-cv-3099 GEB KJN P

vs.

WARDEN MICHAEL MARTEL,

Respondent. ORDER

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding without counsel, has filed a notice of appeal

of this court’s dismissal of his application for a writ of habeas corpus, and moves for a certificate

of appealability. 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c); Fed. R. App. P. 22(b).

A certificate of appealability may issue under 28 U.S.C. § 2253 “only if the

applicant has made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right.” 28 U.S.C.

§ 2253(c)(2). The court must either issue a certificate of appealability indicating which issues

satisfy the required showing, or state the reasons why such a certificate should not issue. Fed. R.

App. P. 22(b).

Petitioner challenges this court’s rulings that his action was time-barred and that 

his claim of actual innocence did not meet the requirements for overcoming this statute of

limitations bar and convening an evidentiary hearing. See Magistrate Judge’s Findings and

Case 2:08-cv-03099-GEB-KJN Document 44 Filed 05/19/10 Page 1 of 2

Recommendations, filed February 25, 2010 (Docket No. 37), and Order Adopting Findings and

Recommendations, filed March 31, 2010 (Docket No. 39). Petitioner has therefore not made a

substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right. 

Accordingly, petitioner’s motion for a certificate of appealability (Dkt. No. 43) is

denied.

SO ORDERED. 

Dated: May 18, 2010
