UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

APPEALABILITY

JEANNE S. WOODFORD, et al.,

Respondents.

On September 26, 2006, this Court entered judgment denying the petition for a writ of habeas

Notice of Appeal and a Request for Certificate of Probable Cause, which this Court construes as a

request for certificate of appealability. A certificate of appealability is authorized “if the applicant has

made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right.” 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2). “A

petitioner satisfies this standard by demonstrating that jurists of reason could disagree with the district

court’s resolution of his constitutional claims or that jurists could conclude the issues presented are

adequate to deserve encouragement to proceed further.” Miller-El v. Cockrell, 537 U.S. 322, 327

(2003). See also Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 484 (2000).

petition, the Court finds Petitioner has failed to demonstrate that reasonable jurists would find this

Court’s
