UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GERALD RAY BAILEY,

Petitioner,

v.

BERNIE ELLIS, Warden

Respondent.

CV F 06-0457 AWI DLB HC

ORDER DENYING REQUEST FOR

CERTIFICATE OF APPEALABILITY

[Doc. 10]

Petitioner is a federal prisoner proceeding pro se with a petition for writ of habeas corpus

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. 

On October 24, 2006, the instant petition for writ of habeas corpus was dismissed and

judgment was entered. (Court Docs. 6, 7.) On November 9, 2006, Petitioner filed a motion for

reconsideration, which was denied on January 12, 2007. (Court Docs. 8, 9.) On January 22,

2007, Petitioner filed a notice of appeal. (Court Doc. 10.) Although no express request was

made for a certificate of appealability, the notice of appeal shall be deemed to constitute a request

for a certificate. See Fed. R.App. P. 22(b); United States v. Asrar, 108 F.3d 217, 218 (9th Cir.

1997).

The controlling statute in determining whether to issue a certificate of appealability is 28

U.S.C. § 2253, which 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 not made the required substantial

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

of appealability is DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
