Case No. CIV 12-399-FHS-KEW

CORRECTED OPINION AND ORDER
DENYING CERTIFICATE OF APPEALABILITY
On June 14, 2013, the court dismissed petitioner’s petition for a writ of habeas corpus
as barred by the statute of limitations (Docket No. 16). After a careful review of the record,
the court concludes petitioner has not shown “at least, 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 [this] court was correct in its procedural
ruling.” Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 484 (2000). See also 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c).
ACCORDINGLY, petitioner is denied a certificate of appealability. See Rule 11(a)
of the Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 24th day of June, 2013.
