ORDER DENYING REQUEST FOR

CERTIFICATE OF APPEALABILITY

Petitioner, a California prisoner, filed a pro se petition for a writ of habeas

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, challenging his state conviction. On

December 9, 2009, the Court dismissed the petition as a second or successive

petition. (See Docket No 10.) Petitioner has filed a notice of appeal which the

Court construes as a request for a certificate of appealability, (Docket No. 12).

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.
