ORDER DENYING CERTIFICATE OF

APPEALABILITY

(Docket No. 13)

Petitioner filed a pro se petition for a writ of habeas corpus challenging the

constitutionality of her state conviction under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Following briefing, this

Court denied Petitioner’s application for a writ of habeas corpus on the merits. Petitioner

has filed a notice of appeal (docket no. 13), which the Court construes as a motion for a

certificate of appealability (“COA”).

Upon the filing of a notice of appeal or a request for a COA, the district court

shall indicate which specific issue or issues satisfy the standard for issuing a certificate,

or state its reasons why a certificate should not be granted. See United States v. Asrar,

116 F.3d 1268, 1270 (9th Cir. 1997). (citing 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(3)). A judge shall

grant a COA "only if the applicant has made a substantial showing of the denial of a

constitutional right." 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2). Petitioner has not shown that “reasonable

jurists would find the district court’s assessment of the constitutional claims debatable or

wrong.” Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 484 (2000). Accordingly, a certificate of

appealability is DENIED. 

The Clerk of Court shall forward this order, along with the case file, to the United

States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Petitioner may also seek a certificate of

appealability from that court. See Asrar, 116 F.3d at 1270. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
