IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ERIC LA VON THRASHER,

Petitioner,

 v.

ROBERT AYERS, Warden,

Respondent. /

No. C 05-01840 SBA (PR)

ORDER DENYING REQUEST FOR

CERTIFICATE OF APPEALABILITY AS

UNNECESSARY

Petitioner has filed a notice of appeal following this Court's denial of his habeas petition

challenging the decision by the California Board of Prison Terms (BPT) finding him unsuitable for

parole. The Court construes the notice of appeal as an application for a certificate of appealability. 

See United States v. Asrar, 116 F.3d 1268, 1270 (9th Cir. 1997); 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(3). 

Petitioner's request for a certificate of appealability is DENIED as unnecessary. The Ninth

Circuit recently made clear that a state prisoner challenging the administrative decision by the BPT

to deny his request for parole need not obtain a certificate of appealability. See Rosas v. Nielsen,

428 F.3d 1229, 1232 (9th Cir. 2005).

The Clerk of the Court shall process the notice of appeal. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: 1/15/08
