UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JERALD L. JOHNSON,

Petitioner,

v.

JEFF WRIGLEY,

Respondent.

 /

CV F 07-00714 OWW SMS HC

ORDER DEEMING CERTIFICATE OF

APPEALABILITY UNNECESSARY 

[Court Doc. 14]

On December 21, 2007, the instant petition for writ of habeas corpus filed pursuant to 28

U.S.C. § 2241 was denied and judgment was entered in favor of Respondent. (Court Docs. 12,

13.) On January 9, 2008, and January 16, 2008, Petitioner filed a notice of appeal. (Court Docs.

14, 15.) 

Because Petitioner is a federal prisoner and the petition filed under § 2241 challenged the

execution of his sentence, a certificate of appealability is unnecessary, and the appeal may be

processed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Forde v. U.S. Parole

Comm’n, 114 F.3d 878 (9 Cir. 1997) (holding that a § 2241 petitioner in federal custody need th

not obtain a COA as a prerequisite to appeal because the detention does not arise out of process

issued by the state court.). 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: February 8, 2008 /s/ Oliver W. Wanger
