ORDER DENYING MOTION

FOR NEW TRIAL; DENYING 

MOTION FOR CERTIFICATE

OF APPEALABILITY

(Docket Nos. 7, 8)

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed a habeas petition in the United

States District Court for the Central District of California. On September 22, 2006, the

instant habeas action was transferred to this Court. On that same day, the Court sent a

notification to Petitioner informing him that he had neither paid the filing fee nor

submitted a completed application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. The Court

provided a copy of the correct form for application to proceed in forma pauperis, along

with a return envelope, instructions, and a notification that the case would be dismissed if

Petitioner failed to pay the fee or file the supporting documentation within thirty days. 

On February 2, 2007, the Court dismissed the instant habeas action without

prejudice for Petitioner’s failure to pay the filing fee or submit a completed in forma

pauperis application. Petitioner has filed a motion for new trial, a motion for a certificate

 Petitioner may then ask the Court of Appeals to issue the certificate, see Fed. R. App. P.

22(b)(1), or if he does not, the notice of appeal will be construed as such a request, see Fed. R.

App. P. 22(b)(2).

P:\pro-se\sj.jf\hc.06\Arteaga824coaden 2

of appealability and a notice of appeal. The Court will DENY Petitioner’s motion for

new trial and motion for a certificate of appealability. 

DISCUSSION

Upon the filing of a notice of appeal and a request for a certificate of appealability

(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)). 

The Court dismissed the instant habeas action without prejudice for Petitioner’s

failure to pay the filing fee or submit a completed in forma pauperis application. The

Court notes that Petitioner is familiar with the Court’s rules and requirements for the

application to proceed in forma pauperis, as Petitioner has filed over thirty civil actions

with this Court. Petitioner has not shown “that jurists of reason would find it debatable

whether the petition states a valid claim of the denial of a constitutional right and that

jurists of reason would find it debatable whether the district court was correct in its

procedural ruling.” Slack v. McDaniel, 120 S.Ct. 1595, 1604 (2000). Accordingly,

Petitioner’s motion for a certificate of appealability (docket no. 8) is DENIED. Based

upon the Court’s denial of appealability, Petitioner’s motion for new trial (docket no. 7) 

is DENIED.

The Clerk shall terminate all pending motions and transmit the file, including a

copy of this order, to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. See Fed. R. App. P. 22(b).1

 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
