Petitioner,

v.
DARYL RICHARDSON, Sheriff,
Respondent.

No. CIV 13-435-RAW-KEW

OPINION AND ORDER
DENYING CERTIFICATE OF APPEALABILITY
On this date the court dismissed petitioner's petition for a writ of habeas corpus for
failure to state a claim for habeas corpus relief. After 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
