IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOSEPH GUTIERREZ,

Petitioner,

 v.

A.P. KANE, Warden,

Respondent. /

No. C 05-1537 SI

ORDER GRANTING IN PART AND

DENYING IN PART REQUEST FOR

CERTIFICATE OF APPEALABILITY

Petitioner has filed a notice of appeal of this Court’s March 29, 2007 order and judgment.

Pursuant to Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 22(b), the Court has reviewed the record in this case

and issues a certificate of appealability on petitioner’s claim that the Board of Prison Terms violated his

due process rights when it denied him parole in 2003. To the extent petitioner wishes to appeal this

Court’s rejection of petitioner’s ex post facto claim, the Court denies the request for a certificate of

appealability because petitioner has not made a “substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional

right.” 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2). 

Accordingly, the Court GRANTS in part and DENIES in part petitioner’s request for a certificate

of appealability. (Docket No. 18).

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: May 2, 2007 SUSAN ILLSTON
