Respondent.

18

On March 15, 2017, the District Court issued an order denying the petition. The Court

19

also declined to issue a certificate of appealability. On April 18, 2017, Petitioner filed a notice of

20

appeal and the appeal was processed to the Ninth Circuit. On April 21, 2017, Petitioner filed a

21

motion for certificate of appealability. The Ninth Circuit denied the appeal on November 9, 2017.

23

Because this Court and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals have denied a certificate of
appealability, Petitioner’s motion for certificate of appealability is hereby DISMISSED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
