UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MICHAEL ISREAL,

Petitioner,

v.

J. SULLIVAN, Warden,

Respondent.

 /

CV F 04-5064 AWI SMS HC

ORDER DEEMING REQUEST FOR

CERTIFICATE OF APPEALABILITY

UNNECESSARY

[Doc. 45]

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a petition for writ of habeas corpus

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. 

On May 25, 2007, the instant petition for writ of habeas corpus was DENIED and

judgment was entered in favor of Respondent. (Court Docs. 43, 44.) On June 18, 2007,

Petitioner filed a notice of appeal. 

 In the instant case, a certificate of appealability is not necessary because Petitioner did

not challenge the validity of his conviction, but rather the denial of parole. As such, no

certificate of appealability is necessary. See Rosas v. Nielsen, 428 F.3d 1229, 1231-1232 (9th

Cir. 2005); White v. Lambert, 370 F.3d 1002, 1010-1013 (9 Cir. 2004) (no certificate of th

appealability required for denial of petition challenging parole or any other administrative

decision by prison officials in making a determination regarding the execution of prisoner’s

sentence).
