United States District Court

For the Northern District of California

Having denied Petitioner's request for habeas relief, this Court must issue or deny a

12 certificate of appealability pursuant to Rule 11(a) of the Rules Governing Section 2254 13 Cases. The Court DENIES a certificate of appealability because Petitioner has failed to 14 make a "substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right" on any of his claims. 15 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2); see also Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 483-84 (2000) (explaining 16 that an applicant satisfies this standard where he or she shows that reasonable jurists could 17 find the issues debatable or that the issues are "adequate to deserve encouragement to 18 proceed further") (quoting Barefoot v. Estelle, 463 U.S. 880, 893 n.4 (1983)). Petitioner 19 "may not appeal the denial of a certificate of appealability but may seek a certificate from the 20 Court of Appeals under Rule 22 of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure." Rule 11(a) of 21 the Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases. 22 23 IT IS SO ORDERED. 24 25 Dated: 09/03/10 26 27 28 THELTON E. HENDERSON, JUDGE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
