No. CV-17-00224-TUC-RM
Attorney General of the State of Arizona
and David Shinn,
13
14
Respondents.
15
Pending before the Court is Petitioner’s Motion for Certificate of Appealability.
16
(Doc. 112.) Petitioner requests a Certificate of Appealability (“COA”) from this Court’s
17
October 21, 2021 Order (Doc. 111) denying Petitioner’s Motion to Convert the
18
Conditional Writ to an Unconditional Writ (Doc. 108). Respondents have not responded
19
to the Motion, and the time for doing so has expired.
20
The Court may issue a COA “if the applicant has made a substantial showing of
21
the denial of a constitutional right.” 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2). Under this standard, a
22
habeas petitioner who was denied relief on the merits of his constitutional claims “must
23
demonstrate that reasonable jurists would find the district court’s assessment of the
24
constitutional claims debatable or wrong.” Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 484 (2000).
25
A petitioner denied habeas relief on procedural grounds must demonstrate “that jurists of
26
reason would find it debatable whether the petition states a valid claim of the denial of a
27
constitutional right and that jurists of reason would find it debatable whether the district
28
court was correct in its procedural ruling.” Id.

Upon review of the record and the Court’s October 21, 2021 Order, the Court
finds that issuance of a COA is appropriate.
3
Accordingly,
4
IT IS ORDERED that Petitioner’s Motion for Certificate of Appealability (Doc.
5
112) is granted. A Certificate of Appealability is issued with respect to the Court’s
6
October 21, 2021 Order (Doc. 111) denying Petitioner’s Motion to Convert the
7
Conditional Writ to an Unconditional Writ. This case shall remain closed.
