Order. (Doc. 25). As of November 7, 2007, Respondent had not

complied with the February 7, 2007 Order. There have been no

further proceedings in this action. 

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2253(a), final orders issued by a

federal district court in habeas corpus proceedings are

reviewable by the Circuit Court of Appeal. In order to have

final orders reviewed, Petitioner must obtain a Certificate of

Appealability. 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c). 

Here, Petitioner’s deemed request for a Certificate of

Appealability must be denied because there has been no final

order on which an appeal may be predicated.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
