IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TEODORO SEVERIANO ALCARAZ,

Petitioner, No. 2:05-cv-1597 LKK KJN P

vs.

G.J. GIURBINO,

Respondent. ORDER

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding without counsel, has filed a notice of appeal

of this court’s denial of his request to stay his petition for writ of habeas corpus, and moves for a

certificate of appealability. (Dkt. Nos. 51, 52.) Petitioner has also filed a motion to set aside the

court’s order that he now appeals. (Dkt. No. 50.)

A certificate of appealability may issue under 28 U.S.C. § 2253 “only if the

applicant has made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right.” 28 U.S.C.

§ 2253(c)(2). The court must either issue a certificate of appealability indicating which issues

satisfy the required showing, or state the reasons why such a certificate should not issue. Fed. R.

App. P. 22(b).

The court previously addressed petitioner’s request and concluded that a

certificate of apppealability would not issue. (Dkt. No. 49.) The court found (id. at 2):

This court properly found that petitioner failed to demonstrate good cause for his

failure earlier to identify and exhaust his new claims. See Magistrate Judge’s

Findings and Recommendations, filed December 8, 2009 (Docket No. 38), and

Order Adopting Findings and Recommendations, filed March 16, 2010 (Docket

No. 46). Petitioner has therefore not made a substantial showing of the denial of a

constitutional right.

Petitioner has presented no basis for reconsidering this decision. Accordingly, a

certificate of appealability shall not issue. For the same reasons, the court will deny petitioner’s

motion to set aside the court’s underlying order.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Petitioner’s application for a certificate of appealability (Dkt. No. 52) is

denied; and

2. Petitioner’s motion to set aside the court’s order (Dkt. No. 50) is denied.

SO ORDERED. 

DATED: June 2, 2010.
