United States District Court

Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CHARLES G. REECE,

Petitioner,

v.

GARY SWARTHOUT,

Respondent.

Case No. 13-cv-02515-SI 

ORDER DENYING CERTIFICATE OF 

APPEALABILITY

Petitioner filed a notice of appeal from the order dismissing his habeas petition for 

lack of jurisdiction. Thereafter, the Appellate Commissioner for the U.S. Court of Appeals 

for the Ninth Circuit has requested this court to grant or deny a certificate of appealability. 

See 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c); Fed. R. App. P. 22(b). A certificate of appealability is DENIED 

because petitioner has not demonstrated 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, 529 U.S. 473, 484 (2000). 

The clerk shall forward to the court of appeals the case file with this order. See 

United States v. Asrar, 116 F.3d 1268, 1270 (9th Cir. 1997). 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 7, 2016
