ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR

CERTIFICATE OF APPEALABILITY;

DENYING REQUEST TO PROCEED

IN FORMA PAUPERIS ON APPEAL;

DENYING MOTION FOR

APPOINTMENT OF COUNSEL

(Docket No. 18)

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

habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, challenging the California Board of

Prison Terms’ denial of parole. On October 2, 2009, the Court denied the instant

petition on the merits and entered judgment in favor of Respondent. On October 23,

2009, Petitioner filed a notice of appeal. Petitioner also filed a request for a

certificate of appealability, a request to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal, and a

motion for appointment of counsel. (Docket No. 18.) 

 Petitioner’s motion for a certificate of appealability is DENIED as moot

because it is not required in the instant case. See Rosas v. Nielsen, 428 F.3d 1229,

1232 (9th Cir. 2005) (a state prisoner challenging the Board of Prison Terms’

administrative decision to deny his request for parole does not need to obtain a

certificate of appealability).

Petitioner was not granted pauper status in the instant action as he paid the

full filing fee. Accordingly, Petitioner’s motion for leave to proceed in forma

pauperis on appeal is DENIED to bringing it directly in the Ninth Circuit for an

independent review of the record to determine whether the appeal is frivolous. 

Petitioner’s motion for appointment counsel is DENIED to bringing it directly in the

Ninth Circuit.

The Clerk shall transmit the file, including a copy of this order, to the Court

of Appeals.
