UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

XAVIER LUMAR J’WEIAL,

Petitioner,

v.

JOE LIZARRAGA, Warden,

Respondent.

No. 1:16-cv-00044-AWI-SKO HC

ORDER DENYING MOTION 

FOR CERTIFICATE OF APPEAL 

AS UNTIMELY

(Doc. 40)

Petitioner Xavier Lumar J’Weial, a state prisoner proceeding with a petition for writ of 

habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, moves for a certificate of appealability. A party 

may appeal a judgment in a civil matter within 30 days after the entry of the judgment or order 

appealed from. F.R.App.P. 4(a)(1). Because final judgment has not been entered in the abovecaptioned case, the motion for a certificate of appeal is untimely.

The Court further notes that, as a matter of practice in this Court, the question of issuance 

of a certificate of appealability is typically addressed within the opinion or order adopting 

findings and recommendations.

The motion for certificate of appeal is hereby DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: November 14, 2016 /s/ Sheila K. Oberto .
