UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

LAVELL A McGARY, 

Petitioner, 

v. 

WILLIAM MUNIZ, Warden, 

Respondent. 

No. 2:15-cv-0807 KJM GGH P 

ORDER 

 Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed this application for a writ of habeas 

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. The matter was referred to a United States Magistrate 

Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302. 

 On December 1, 2016, petitioner filed a notice of appeal and application for certificate of 

appealability. The findings and recommendations issued October 4, 2016, have not yet been 

considered by the district judge. Therefore, petitioner’s filings are premature as no judgment has 

been entered in this case. 

 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: Petitioner’s application for certificate of 

appealability (ECF No. 18), filed December 1, 2016, is denied without prejudice as premature. 

Dated: December 9, 2016
