IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TONY CAMPBELL, No. CIV S-05-2249-LKK-CMK-P

Petitioner, 

vs. ORDER

E. BORBA,

Respondent.

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this petition for a writ of

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

appeal, which is construed as a request for a certificate of appealability (Doc. 10), filed on

February 10, 2006. 

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

this court's January 27, 2006, summary dismissal 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. Fed. R. App. P. 22(b). For the reasons set forth in the magistrate

judge’s December 7, 2005, findings and recommendations, petitioner has not made a substantial

showing of the denial of a constitutional right. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that petitioner’s request for a certificate

of appealability is denied.

DATED: April 19, 2006.
