IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JAMES C. STRINGER, No. CIV S-04-0551-LKK-CMK-P

Petitioner, 

vs. ORDER

MICHAEL HARRISON, et al.,

Respondents.

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding with appointed counsel, brings this petition

for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Pending before the court is petitioner’s

request for a certificate of appealability (Doc. 39), filed on April 30, 2007. 

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has timely filed a notice of appeal of

this court's [date] denial of his application for a writ of habeas corpus. Before petitioner can

appeal this decision, a certificate of appealability must issue. See 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.
