IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Gary Gene Angel,

Petitioner, No. CIV S 02-0247 FCD PAN P

vs.

E. Roe, 

Respondent. ORDER RE CERTIFICATE OF APPEALABILITY

 /

Petitioner, Gary Gene Angel, a state prisoner with counsel, has timely filed a notice of

appeal of this court's January 5, 2006 denial of his application for a writ of habeas corpus. Before

petitioner can appeal this decision, a certificate of appealability must issue. 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c);

Fed. R. App. P. 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. P. 22(b).

A certificate of appealability should be granted for any issue that petitioner can

demonstrate is “‘debatable among jurists of reason,’” could be resolved differently by a different

court, or is “‘adequate to deserve encouragement to proceed further.’” Jennings v. Woodford, 290

 Except for the requirement that appealable issues be specifically identified, the

standard for issuance of a certificate of appealability is the same as the standard that applied to

issuance of a certificate of probable cause. Id.

2

F.3d 1006, 1010 (9th Cir. 2002) (quoting Barefoot v. Estelle, 463 U.S. 880, 893 (1983)).1 Any

doubt about granting a certificate of appealability must be resolved in the petitioner’s favor. Id.

Petitioner has made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right with

respect to the issue of ineffective assistance of counsel in plea negotiations. Accordingly, IT IS

HEREBY ORDERED that a certificate of appealability is issued in the present action.
