ORDER

Petitioner Calvin Dale Walker, who is confined in the Arizona State Prison-Phoenix

West, in Phoenix, Arizona, filed a pro se Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28

U.S.C. § 2254. (Doc.# 1.)1

 After affording Petitioner an opportunity to show cause why this

action should not be summarily dismissed pursuant to Rule 4 of the Rules Governing Section

2254 Cases, the Court summarily dismissed this case. (Doc.# 3-5.) Petitioner filed a notice

of appeal and a motion for certificate of appealability in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

(Doc.# 7-9.) The Ninth Circuit referred the motion for certificate of appealability to this

Court for resolution. (Doc.# 9.) 

Rule 22(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure requires a court to issue a

certificate of appealability or state why a certificate should not issue. The Court has

reviewed the Petition, the Order to Show Cause, Petitioner’s Response to the Order to Show

Cause and the Order dismissing this action. (Doc.# 1, 3, 4, 5.) The Court concludes that

Petitioner has failed to make a substantial showing that a constitutional right has been denied

within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c). Accordingly, the Court will deny Petitioner’s

motion for a certificate of appealability. 

IT IS ORDERED that Petitioner’s motion for a certificate of appealability is

DENIED. (Doc.# 8.) 

DATED this 7th day of June, 2007.
