FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

BRIAN RODGERS,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-01-0975 FCD GGH P

vs.

CLAUDE E. FINN, 

Respondent. ORDER

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

January 23, 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.
