Christopher Cyr v. Vare

FILED
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS JUN 11 2010
MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK
FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT U .S. C O U R T OF APPE ALS
CHRISTOPHER LEE CYR, No. 08-16622
Petitioner - Appellant, D.C. No. 2:07-CV-01264-RLH
District of Nevada,
v. Las Vegas
VARE, Warden; ATTORNEY GENERAL
FOR THE STATE OF NEVADA, ORDER
Respondents - Appellees.
Before: CANBY, THOMAS, and W. FLETCHER, Circuit Judges.
Nevada state prisoner Christopher Lee Cyr appeals pro se from the district
court’s judgment dismissing his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 habeas petition for failure to
comply with the court’s order.
Because Cyr challenges the final order in a habeas proceeding, a certificate
of appealability is required before an appeal may be taken. See 28 U.S.C.
§ 2253(c). We construe Cyr’s notice of appeal as a request for a certificate of
appealability on the issue of whether the district court properly dismissed his
habeas petition for failure to follow the court’s order. So construed, the motion is
denied. See 9th Cir. R. 22-1(d); see also Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 484-85
(2000).
