United States District Court

Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

FREDRICK DON KILMER,

Petitioner,

v.

MARION SPEARMAN, Warden,

Respondent.

Case No. 11-cv-05560-YGR (PR)

ORDER DENYING APPLICATION FOR 

CERTIFICATE OF APPEALABILITY

AS PREMATURE

Petitioner’s motion for a certificate of appealability (“COA”) is DENIED as premature. 

Dkt. 62. A COA is granted or denied only when the Court issues a final order disposing of a 

petition for writ of habeas corpus and enters judgment. See 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(1). Because 

Petitioner’s habeas petition is pending, his request for a COA is premature. The Court will issue 

or decline to issue a COA when it rules on Petitioner’s habeas petition. 

This Order terminates Docket No. 62.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated:
