IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TROY TERRELL McNEAL, No. CIV S-06-1763-MCE-CMK-P

Petitioner, 

vs. ORDER

DERREL G. ADAMS, et al.,

Respondents.

 /

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 request for a

certificate of appealability (Doc. 28), filed on June 13, 2008. 

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

court's 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.
