ORDER DENYING CERTIFICATE

OF APPEALABILITY

The Court denied the petition in the above-titled matter, and entered judgment in favor

of Respondent. Petitioner has now filed a notice of appeal. 

The Court construes petitioner’s filing of a notice of appeal as including a request for

a certificate of appealability pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c) and Federal Rule of Appellate

Procedure 22(b). See United States v. Asrar, 116 F.3d 1268, 1270 (9th Cir. 1997). Petitioner

has not shown, however, “that jurists of reason would find it debatable whether the petition

states a valid claim of the denial of a constitutional right.” Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473,

484 (2000). 

Accordingly, the request for a certificate of appealability is DENIED.
