On September 9, 2005, petitioner filed an application to 1

file a second or successive federal habeas petition in the Ninth

Circuit. The application was construed as a notice of appeal of

the district court’s August 30, 2005, decision denying petitioner’s

application for a writ of habeas corpus, and it was transferred to

the Eastern District of California pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1631.

The notice of appeal is deemed filed as of the date it was filed in

the wrong court and is, therefore, timely.

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has

timely filed a notice of appeal of this court’s August 30, 2005, 1

denial of his application for a writ of habeas corpus. Before

petitioner can appeal this decision, a certificate of appealability

must issue. 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 must state the reasons

why such a certificate should not issue. Fed. R. App. P. 22(b).

For the reasons set forth in the magistrate judge’s

findings and recommendations, as adopted in full on August 30,

2005, petitioner has not made a substantial showing of the denial

of a constitutional right. Accordingly, a certificate of

appealability should not issue.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
