In 2004, Pablo Pina filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus to challenge a 1986
17
conviction for murder and burglary. This court dismissed the petition on August 9, 2005 as
18
untimely filed. This court denied a certificate of appealability in 2005, as did the Ninth Circuit.

See Docket # 20, # 24. More than five years later, Pina moved for reconsideration of the order
20
dismissing his petition for writ of habeas corpus.
21
reconsideration, and Pina has filed an appeal from that ruling. The court of appeal has requested
22
this court to decide whether to issue a certificate of appealability for the current appeal.
This court denied the motion for
23
A certificate of appealability will not issue. See 28 U.S.C. ยง 2253(c). This is not a case
24
in which "jurists of reason would find it debatable whether the petition states a valid claim of
25
the denial of a constitutional right and that jurists of reason would find it debatable whether the
26
district court was correct in its procedural [rulings]" in 2005 or in 2011. Slack v. McDaniel, 529

U.S. 473, 484 (2000). The denial of the certificate of appealability is without prejudice to Pina

seeking a certificate from the court of appeal.
