Case No. CIV 10-119-RAW-KEW

OPINION AND ORDER
DENYING CERTIFICATE OF APPEALABILITY
Petitioner has filed a notice of intent to appeal the court’s order entered September 24,
2013, affirming and adopting the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation and
denying petitioner’s petition for a writ of habeas corpus. After a careful review of the record,
the court concludes petitioner has failed to make a “substantial showing of the denial of a
constitutional right,” as required by 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2). The court further finds that
petitioner has not “demonstrate[d] that reasonable jurists would find [this] court’s assessment
of the constitutional claims debatable or wrong.” Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 484
(2000).
ACCORDINGLY, petitioner is denied a certificate of appealability. See Rule 11(a)
of the Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 4th day of November 2013.
Dated this 4th day of November, 2013.
