UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DEJUAN MINOR,

NO. CIV. S-00-1339 LKK/JFM P

Petitioner,

v. O R D E R

TOM CAREY, Warden,

Respondent.

 /

On August 12, 2005, this court entered an order adopting the

findings and recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying the

application for a writ of habeas corpus filed by petitioner, a

state prisoner proceeding pro se. Petitioner has timely filed a

notice of appeal of that order. 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). 

Under the Anti-Terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act

(“AEDPA”), a certificate of appealability (“COA”) may not issue

unless “the applicant has made a substantial showing of the denial

of a constitutional right.” 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c) (1994 ed., Supp.

III). This demonstration requires the applicant to show that

“reasonable jurists could debate whether . . . the petition should

have been resolved in a different manner or that the issues

presented were ‘adequate to deserve encouragement to proceed

further.’” Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473-4, 484 (2000)(citing

Barefoot v. Estelle, 463 U.S. 880, 893 (1983)).

Petitioner has made a substantial showing that his no contest

plea was not knowing, intelligent and voluntary. Brady v. United

States, 397 U.S. 742, 748 (1970). Accordingly, a Certificate of

Appealability shall issue on this basis. 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

DATED: September 28, 2005.
