ORDER DENYING CERTIFICATE

OF APPEALABILITY

(Docket No. 7)

On June 30, 2006, petitioner, a federal prisoner currently incarcerated at the Federal

Correctional Institution Dublin and proceeding pro se, filed the above-titled petition for a

writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. On December 11, 2006, the petition was

dismissed without prejudice because petitioner had not paid the filing fee or filed a

completed application to proceed in forma pauperis, despite having the opportunity to do so.

Petitioner has filed a notice of appeal, which the Court construes as including a

request for a certificate of appealability pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c) and Federal Rule of

Appellate Procedure 22(b). Petitioner has not shown “that jurists of reason would find it

debatable whether the petition states a valid claim of the denial of a constitutional right and

that jurists of reason would find it debatable whether the district court was correct in its

procedural ruling.” Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 484 (2000). Accordingly, the request

for a certificate of appealability is DENIED.

The Clerk shall forward this order, along with the case file, to the United States Court

of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, from which petitioner may also seek a certificate of

appealability. See United States v. Asrar, 116 F.3d 1268, 1270 (9th Cir. 1997).

This order terminates Docket No. 7.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
