Christopher Lee Cyr v. VARE, Warden; ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR THE STATE OF NEVADA

UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT
CHRISTOPHER LEE CYR,
Petitioner - Appellant,
v.
VARE, Warden; ATTORNEY GENERAL
FOR THE STATE OF NEVADA,
Respondents - Appellees.
No. 08-16622
D.C. No. 2:07-CV-01264-RLH
District of Nevada,
Las Vegas
ORDER
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).
