Padilla v. Benzon Doc. 19 Case 2:19-cv-00210-TS Document 19 Filed 08/30/21 PageID.214 Page 1 of 1 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF UTAH RICARDO ANTONIO PADILLA, MEMORANDUM DECISION & ORDER DENYING CERTIFICATE OF APPEALABILITY Petitioner, v. LARRY BENZON, Case No. 2:19-CV-210 TS Respondent. District Judge Ted Stewart Having dismissed the petition here, the Court considers whether to issue a certificate of appealability (COA). See R.11, Rs. Governing § 2254 Cases in the United States District Courts (“The district court must issue or deny a [COA] when it enters a final order adverse to the applicant.”). When a habeas petition is denied on procedural grounds, as this one was, a petitioner is entitled to a COA only if he shows 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) (citing 28 U.S.C.S. § 2253 (2021)). Petitioner has not made this showing. IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that a COA is DENIED. DATED this 30th day of August, 2021.
