ORDER

MORRISON C. ENGLAND, Jr., Chief District Judge.

Petitioner is a state prisoner without counsel seeking a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On April 3, 2014, this court denied petitioner's motion for relief from judgment, ECF No. 125, but did not issue or deny a certificate of appealability at the time the final order was entered. See Rule 11(a), Rules Governing § 2254 Cases.

A court shall issue a certificate of appealability where the petitioner has shown "that reasonable jurists could debate whether . . . the petition should have been resolved in a different manner or that the issues presented were adequate to deserve encouragement to proceed further." Miller-El v. Cockrell, 537 U.S. 322, 336 (2003) (internal quotation marks omitted). Reasonable jurists could not debate that petitioner's motion to vacate the judgment lacked merit.

Accordingly, the Court declines to issue a certificate of appealability. The Clerk of the Court is directed to forward a copy of this order to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals for filing on the docket of Case No. 14-15743.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
