ORDER RON DAVIS, Warden, 15 Respondent. 16 On July 20, 2017 the petition in this litigation was dismissed and judgment entered by the 17 18 District Court. ECF No. 19.

The requests appear 21 to be addressed to this court, rather than the Court of Appeals. A Certificate of Appeal has been 22 denied by this court, and petitioner is advised to seek further relief from the Court of Appeal. If it was indeed petitioner’s intent to seek other relief from this court, he is advised that 23 24 once a Notice of Appeal is filed, jurisdiction becomes vested in the Court of Appeals and this 25 Court cannot address further requests for action.
