United States District Court

For the Northern District of California

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ANTHONY LEE TOTTEN,

Petitioner,

 v.

A. KANE, Warden, et. al.,

Respondent(s).

 /

Nos. C-05-1675 TEH (PR)

C-05-1965 TEH (PR)

C-07-5974 TEH (PR)

ORDER DENYING CERTIFICATE OF

APPEALABILITY

(Doc. #11)

On September 25, 2008, the Court denied Petitioner’s

applications for a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254

challenging the California Board of Parole Hearings’ (BPH) January

27, 2003, June 29, 2004 and November 27, 2007 decisions to deny him

parole. Doc. #9. 

Petitioner filed a notice of appeal, which the Court now

construes as a request for a Certificate of Appealability (COA)

under 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c) and Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure

22(b). See Hayward v. Marshall, 603 F.3d 546, 552–56 (9th Cir.

2010) (en banc) (COA required regardless of whether state decision

to deny release from confinement is administrative or judicial).

Petitioner’s request for a COA (Doc. #11) is DENIED

because Petitioner has not made “a substantial showing of the denial

of a constitutional right.” 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2). Nor has

Petitioner demonstrated that “reasonable jurists would find the

district court’s assessment of the constitutional claims debatable

or wrong.” 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.
