IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RUBEN GOMEZ,

Petitioner,

 v.

ROBERT L. AYERS,

Respondent. /

No. C 06-04561 SBA (PR)

ORDER DENYING REQUEST FOR

CERTIFICATE OF APPEALABILITY AS

UNNECESSARY; GRANTING REQUEST

TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS

ON APPEAL

Petitioner has filed a notice of appeal and a request for a certificate of appealability following

this Court's denial of his habeas petition challenging as a violation of his constitutional rights

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's reversal of the finding of parole suitability by the California

Board of Parole Hearings (Board).1

 He also moves for leave to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal.

Petitioner's request for a certificate of appealability is DENIED as unnecessary. The Ninth

Circuit recently made clear that a state prisoner challenging the administrative decision by the Board

to deny his request for parole need not obtain a certificate of appealability. See Rosas v. Nielsen,

428 F.3d 1229, 1232 (9th Cir. 2005).

Good cause appearing, Petitioner's request for leave to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal

is GRANTED. 

The Clerk of the Court shall process the notice of appeal. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
