¶2 California state prisoner Allen Lynn Jef-fries appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment denying his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 habeas petition. We dismiss.
¶3 Jeffries contends that the Board of Prison Terms’s 2004 decision to deny him parole violated his right to due process. During the pendency of this appeal, this court held that a certificate of appealability (“COA”) is required to challenge the denial of parole. See Hayward v. Marshall, 603 F.3d 546, 554 (9th Cir.2010) (en banc), overruled on other grounds by Swarthout v. Cooke, — U.S. -, 131 S.Ct. 859, 178 L.Ed.2d 732 (2011). We construe Jef-fries’s briefing as a request for a COA. Because Jeffries has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right, we deny his request and dismiss his appeal for lack of jurisdiction. See 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c).
¶4 Jeffries’s motion for copies of records is denied.
¶5 DISMISSED.
