ORDER

The court has before it petitioner's motion to amend judgment (doc. 33). Respondents

did not respond, and the time for responding has expired.

On August 28, 2012, we entered an order denying petitioner's petition for writ of

habeas corpus (doc. 31). Petitioner challenged his conviction in tribal court pursuant to 25

U.S.C. § 1303. Included in that order was language denying petitioner a certificate of

appealability. The clerk's judgment incorporated the order by reference. Petitioner asks us,

pursuant to Rule 59, Fed. R. Civ. P., to amend the order and judgment to delete the reference

to the certificate of appealability, as a certificate is not required in cases not arising under §

2255 and not involving a state court detention. Petitioner is correct that the certificate of

appealability language is superfluous. See 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c); Harrison v. Ollison, 519

F.3d 952, 958 (9th Cir. 2008).

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED GRANTING petitioner's motion to amend judgment

(doc. 33). The clerk shall file the amended order denying the petition for writ of habeas

corpus and amend the judgment accordingly.

DATED this 18th day of September, 2012.
