IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Respondent, No. CR S-94-0168 GEB KJM 

vs.

CHRISTOPHER RAY WITTMAN, 

Movant. ORDER

 /

Movant is a federal prisoner proceeding pro se with an action he has labeled a

petition for a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2241. On March 1, 2007, this court

adopted the Central District’s conclusion that this case was a motion to vacate movant’s sentence

under 28 U.S.C. § 2255, found that the motion was successive, and directed that the case be

transferred to the Court of Appeals for authorization of this successive motion.

On April 9, 2007, movant filed an application for a certificate of appealability

under 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c). This court did not deny the motion to vacate movant’s sentence,

however, but rather transferred the case to the Court of Appeals; there is no order to be appealed. 

No certificate of appealability will issue.
