IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOSEPH DANNY PROPHET, No. 2:06-cv-2160-MCE-CMK-P

Petitioner, 

v. ORDER

THE SUPREME COURT OF 

CALIFORNIA, et al., 

Respondent. 

 /

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

court's December 12, 2006 dismissal of his application for a writ of habeas corpus for failure to

exhaust state remedies. 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).

recommendations, petitioner has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional

right. Accordingly, a certificate of appealability should not issue in this action.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
