On September 18, 2007, petitioner, a California prisoner proceeding pro se, filed the above-titled petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On August 3, 2010, the Court granted respondent's motion to dismiss the petition as barred by the applicable one-year statute of limitations, and entered judgment. Petitioner has now filed a notice of appeal from the entry of judgment in respondent's favor and a request for a certificate of appealability pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c) and Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 22(b). Petitioner has not shown, however, "that jurists of reason would find it debatable whether the petition states a valid claim of the denial of a constitutional right and that jurists of reason would find it debatable whether the district court was correct in its procedural ruling." Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 484 (2000). Accordingly, the request for a certificate of appealability is hereby DENIED.
