IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TREVOR McDONALD BIRD, No. 2:03-cv-2022-MCE-EFB-P

Petitioner, 

v. ORDER

EDWARD ALAMEIDA, et al.,

Respondent. 

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner with counsel, has timely filed a notice of appeal of this court's

February 21, 2007, 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).
