IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SHAWN HAWK,

Petitioner, No. 2:06-cv-00290 ALA (HC )

vs.

MATTHEW C. KRAMER, Warden, et al.,

Respondents. ORDER 1

 /

Shawn Hawk, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has timely filed a notice of appeal from

this Court’s August 4, 2008 order denying his application for a writ of habeas corpus relief

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254(a). Before petitioner can appeal this decision, a certificate of

appealability must issue. 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c); FED. R. APP. 22(b).

A certificate of appealability may issue under 28 U.S.C. § 2253 “only if the applicant has

made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right.” 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2). The

Court must either issue a certificate of appealability indicating which issues satisfy the required

showing or must state the reasons why such a certificate should not issue. FED. R. APP. 22(b).
