ORDER GRANTING PETITIONER’S

APPLICATIONS TO PROCEED IN

FORMA PAUPERIS; DENYING

PETITIONER’S REQUEST FOR A

CERTIFICATE OF APPEALABILITY

(Docket Nos. 26, 29)

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On July 26, 2013, the court granted respondent’s motion to

dismiss the petition as unexhausted, and entered judgment. Ten months later, on May 27, 2014,

petitioner filed a motion for reconsideration under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60(b)(1) and

60(b)(6). On November 12, 2014, the court denied petitioner’s motion for reconsideration. 

Petitioner filed a timely notice of appeal and two applications to proceed in forma pauperis.

Petitioner’s applications to proceed in forma pauperis are GRANTED.

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal issued a limited remand for this court to consider

whether a certificate of appealability (“COA”) should issue. Petitioner has not shown “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, a COA is DENIED.
