DWYER, CLERK U.S. COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT No. 25-1284 D.C. No. Central District of California, Los Angeles ORDER ARTHUR TORLUCCI, Petitioner Appellant, Vv. STATE OF CALIFORNIA, Respondent — Appellee. Before: CALLAHAN and FORREST, Circuit Judges. Appellant’s filings (Docket Entry Nos. 3 & 8) are construed as a request for a certificate of appealability. So construed, the request for a certificate of appealability is denied because the underlying 28 U.S.C. § 2254 petition fails to state a federal constitutional claim debatable among jurists of reason. See 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2)-(3); Gonzalez v. Thaler, 565 U.S. 134, 140-41 (2012) (“When ... the district court denies relief on procedural grounds, the petitioner seeking a COA must show both ‘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 the district court was correct in its procedural ruling.’”) (quoting Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 484 (2000). Any pending motions are denied as moot. DENIED.

Before: S.R. THOMAS and BENNETT, Circuit Judges. Appellant’s filing (Docket Entry No. 10) is construed as a motion for reconsideration and is denied. See 9th Cir. R. 27-10. To the extent appellant intends to seek authorization to file a second or successive 28 U.S.C. § 2254 petition, this clerk will serve this order and Form 12, the standard application for leave to file a second or successive motion, on appellant. No further filings will be entertained in this closed case.
