ORDER DENYING CERTIFICATE

OF APPEALABILITY

On September 22, 2006, petitioner, a California prisoner proceeding pro se, filed the

above-titled petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On August

25, 2009, the Court denied the petition on the merits. 

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

A certificate of appealability will not issue. Petitioner had not demonstrated that “reasonable

jurists would find the district court’s assessment of the constitutional claims debatable or

wrong.” Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 484 (2000). 

Accordingly, the request for a certificate of appealability is hereby 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. Petitioner may also file a motion with the Ninth Circuit to proceed in forma

pauperis pursuant to Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 24(a)(5). 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
