IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MARIO GARCIA PADILLA, CASE NO. CV-F-04-5402 LJO WMW HC

Petitioner, 

ORDER DENYING REQUEST FOR

CERTIFICATE OF APPEALABILITY

vs.

K. MENDOZA-POWERS, 

Respondent.

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner, filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28U.S.C. §

2254. On February 26, 2007, District Judge Oliver W. Wanger issued an order adopting the Findings

and Recommendations of the District Judge and denying the petition for writ of habeas corpus.

On March 14, 2007, Petitioner filed an application for a certificate of appealability. The

controlling statute, 28 U.S.C. § 2253, provides as follows:

(a) In a habeas corpus proceeding or a proceeding under section 2255 before a district judge, the

final order shall be subject to review, on appeal, by the court of appeals for the circuit in which

the proceeding is held.

(b) There shall be no right of appeal from a final order in a proceeding to test the validity of a

warrant to remove to another district or place for commitment or trial a person charged with a

criminal offense against the United States, or to test the validity of such person's detention

pending removal proceedings.

(c)(1) Unless a circuit justice or judge issues a certificate of appealability, an appeal may not be

taken to the court of appeals from--

(A) the final order in a habeas corpus proceeding in which the detention complained of arises out

of process issued by a State court; or

(B) the final order in a proceeding under section 2255.

(2) A certificate of appealability may issue under paragraph (1) only if the applicant has made

a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right.

(3) The certificate of appealability under paragraph (1) shall indicate which specific issue or

issues satisfy the showing required by paragraph (2).

In the present case, the court finds that Petitioner has failed to carry his burden of making a

substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right. Accordingly, Petitioner’s request for a

certificate of appealability is HEREBY DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
