Petitioner,

Case No. 1:13-cv-01595-LJO-SAB-HC
v.
CHERYL PLILER,
(ECF No. 24)
Respondent.

9
Petitioner is a state prisoner who proceeded pro se with a petition for writ of habeas
10
corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On June 2, 2014, this Court dismissed the petition, declined
11
to issue a certificate of appealability, and entered judgment. (ECF Nos. 18, 19). Petitioner filed a
12
notice of appeal, and on February 18, 2015, the Ninth Circuit denied Petitioner’s request for a
13
certificate of appealability. (ECF Nos. 20, 23).
14
On March 29, 2017, Petitioner filed the instant motion for certificate of appealability.
15
(ECF No. 24). This Court previously declined to issue a certificate of appealability, and the
16
17
18
Ninth Circuit expressly denied Petitioner’s request for a certificate of appealability regarding the
dismissal of Petitioner’s federal habeas petition. See United States v. Jingles, 702 F.3d 494, 499
(9th Cir. 2012) (“Under the ‘law of the case’ doctrine, a court is ordinarily precluded from
19
reexamining an issue previously decided by the same court, or a higher court, in the same
20
21
case.”) (quoting Richardson v. United States, 841 F.2d 993, 996 (9th Cir. 1988)).
Accordingly, Petitioner’s motion for a certificate of appealability (ECF No. 24) is
22
DENIED.
23
24 IT IS SO ORDERED.
