UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

WILLIE RANDLE,

Plaintiff,

v.

ALAMEIDA, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

CASE NO. 1:03-cv-06313-LJO-SMS PC

ORDER DENYING REQUEST FOR

ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATE OF

APPEALABILITY AS INAPPLICABLE IN

THIS ACTION 

(Doc. 81)

Plaintiff Willie Randle (“plaintiff”) is a state prisoner who was proceeding pro se and in

forma pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On June 21, 2007, the Court

granted defendants’ motion for summary judgment and entered judgment in favor of defendants.

On July 11, 2007, plaintiff filed a notice of appeal and a request for the issuance of a certificate of

appealability pursuant to Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 22(b).

Rule 22(b) requires an applicant to obtain a certificate of appealability from the Court in

order to appeal. However, the rule is applicable to habeas corpus and Section 2255 proceedings, not

civil rights actions. It is unnecessary for plaintiff to obtain permission from the Court to appeal the

judgment in favor of defendants, and his request for a certificate of appealability is HEREBY

DENIED on that ground. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: July 12, 2007 /s/ Lawrence J. O'Neill
