(CAB)

ORDER DENYING

CERTIFICATE OF

APPEALABILITY

vs.

K. MENDOZA-POWERS,

Respondent.

On August 2, 2007, Tony Eugene Saffold (“Petitioner”), a California prisoner

proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus with the

United States District Court of the Eastern District of California pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254.

(Doc. No. 1.) On June 24, 2009, the Court issued an order denying the petition for writ of

habeas corpus. (Doc. No. 22.) On July 2, 2010, the United States Court of Appeals for the

Ninth Circuit remanded the case to this Court for the limited purpose of granting or denying

a certificate of appealability. (Doc. No. 29.) A certificate of appealability requires “a

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

Considering the parties’ submissions and the analysis set forth in the Court’s June 24, 2009
