IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

PABLO ANDRES COBB,

Petitioner,

vs.

SCOTT KERNAN, Warden, et al.,

Respondents.

Case No. 2:04-cv-1299 JKS EFB

ORDER

Petitioner, a state prisoner now represented by counsel, has timely filed a Notice of Appeal

from the judgment entered herein on January 9, 2008. Docket No. 27. 

Before Petitioner can appeal the judgment, a Certificate of Appealability (“COA”) must

issue. 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c); Fed. R. App. P. 22(b). “To obtain a COA under § 2253(c), a habeas

prisoner must make a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right, a demonstration

that . . . includes showing that reasonable jurists could debate whether (or, for that matter, agree

that) the petition should have been resolved in a different manner or that the issues presented were

adequate to deserve encouragement to proceed further. Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 482

(2000) (internal quotation marks and citations omitted). 

Although the Court denied Petitioner’s application for a writ of habeas corpus, the Court

believes that reasonable jurists could debate whether the petition should have been resolved in a

different manner. As the issues raised are significantly intertwined, the Court declines to single out 

any specific issue for different treatment. Accordingly, a COA shall issue as to all claims in the

petition. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated this the 7th day of February 2008.
