ORDER DENYING CERTIFICATE

OF APPEALABILITY; DENYING

MISCELLANEOUS MOTIONS

docket no. 14 

On March 12, 2004, Petitioner, formerly incarcerated at the Santa Clara County jail, filed

this pro se petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 or 2241. On

February 4, 2005, the Court ordered Petitioner to file an amended complaint within thirty days. 

Plaintiff was notified that failure to respond within thirty days would result in the dismissal of

this action. Thereafter, on February 8, 2005, the Court’s notice was returned with a notification

from the facility that Petitioner was no longer in custody there. On April 20, 2005, the Court

dismissed the case based upon Petitioner’s failure to keep the Court apprised of his current

address pursuant to Civil Local Rule 3-11(b) and for failure to prosecute this matter pursuant to

Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b). The Court also issued a judgment. On March 23, 2006, Petitioner filed a

 1 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).

notice of appeal and miscellaneous motions (see docket no. 14).

The Court construes the notice of appeal as 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). The Court denies the 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 petition based upon Petitioner’s failure to keep the Court

apprised of his current address pursuant to Civil Local Rule 3-11(b) and for failure to prosecute

this matter pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b). 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, the Court

DENIES the certificate of appealability.

Further, the Court DENIES the miscellaneous motions, without prejudice to renew the

motions in the appellate court, if appropriate. The Clerk shall transmit the file, including a copy

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