CASE NO. CV 06-01190-GHK 

Order Denying Certificate of

Appealablity

The Court has reviewed the Petitioner’s “Application for Certificate of

Appealability” filed July 28, 2009. 

IT IS ORDERED that the Petition for Issuance of Certificate of Appealability

(“COA”) is DENIED. To obtain a COA, a habeas prisoner must make a substantial

showing of the denial of a constitutional right, which “includes showing that reasonable

jurists could debate whether . . . the petition should have been resolved in a different

manner or that the issues presented were adequate to deserve encouragement to proceed

further.” See Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 483–84 (2000) (citations and quotations

omitted). Petitioner has made no such showing here. 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk shall serve copies of this Order, by

United States mail, on Petitioner and counsel for Respondent. The Clerk shall forward
