IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ANDRES MOSQUEDA SERRANO,

Petitioner, No. CIV-S-02-0341 MCE KJM P 

vs.

ANTHONY LAMARQUE, 

Respondent. ORDER

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding with counsel,

has timely filed a notice of appeal of this court's March 30,

2005 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

which specific issue or issues satisfy” the requirement. 28

U.S.C. § 2253(c)(3).

A certificate of appealability should be granted for

any issue that petitioner can demonstrate is “‘debatable among

jurists of reason,’” could be resolved differently by a different 

court, or is “‘adequate to deserve encouragement to proceed

further.’” Jennings v. Woodford, 290 F.3d 1006, 1010 (9th Cir.

2002) (quoting Barefoot v. Estelle, 463 U.S. 880, 893 (1983)). 

Petitioner has made a substantial showing of the denial

of a constitutional right with respect to petitioner’s claim that

he was denied due process and the right to confront witnesses

against him by the trial court’s limitation of testimony

regarding the credibility of Angel Post. It all other respects,

petitioner has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a

constitutional right 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Petitioner’s request for a certificate of

appealability is issued with respect to petitioner’s claim that

he was denied due process and the right to confront witnesses

against him by the trial court’s limitation of testimony

regarding the credibility of Angel Post.
