Civil Action No. 17cv00088-BTM-AGS

JUDGMENT IN A CIVIL CASE

Decision by Court. This action came to trial or hearing before the Court. The issues have been tried 

or heard and a decision has been rendered.

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED AND ADJUDGED:

CLERK OF COURT 

JOHN MORRILL, Clerk of Court

S. Mitchell, Deputy

By: s/ S. Mitchell

Date: 10/29/18

For the foregoing reasons, the Court DENIES the petition. Rule 11of the Rules Following 28 U.S.C. § 

2254 requires the District Court to “issue or deny a certificate of appealability when it enters a final 

order adverse to the applicant.” Rule 11, 28 U.S.C. foll. § 2254 (West Supp. 2013). A certificate of 

appealability will issue when the petitioner makes a “substantial showing of the denial of a 

constitutional right.” 28 U.S.C. § 2253; Pham v. Terhune, 400 F.3d 740, 742 (9th Cir. 2005). A 

“substantial showing” requires a demonstration that “‘reasonable jurists would find the district court’s 

assessment of the constitutional claims debatable or wrong.’” Beaty v. Stewart, 303 F.3d 975, 984 (9th 

Cir. 2002), quoting Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 484 (2000). Here, the Court concludes Terrell 

has not made the required showing, and therefore a certificate of appealability is hereby DENIED.
