IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ARMONDO GIBB ORTEGA,

Petitioner,

 v.

JOHN W. HAVILAND, Warden,

Respondent. /

No. 09-02556 CW

ORDER GRANTING,

IN PART,

CERTIFICATE OF

APPEALABILITY

(Docket Number 9)

Petitioner Armondo Gibb Ortega has filed a Notice of Appeal

and a request for a certificate of appealability of two of the

three clams raised in his petition for a writ of habeas corpus. 

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(1)(A), an appeal of the final order

in a habeas corpus proceeding may not proceed unless a certificate

of appealability is issued. A certificate of appealability may

issue only if the petitioner has made a substantial showing of the

denial of a constitutional right. 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2); see

also, Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 483 (2000) (certificate of

appealability may issue if petitioner shows “jurists of reason

would find it debatable whether the petition states a valid claim

of the denial of a constitutional right . . .”). The certificate

of appealability must specify which issue or issues satisfies the

showing required by § 2253(c)(2). See 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(3).

The Court certifies in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 2253 that

Petitioner has made a substantial showing of the denial of a

constitutional right in regard to his first claim: denial of his

Sixth Amendment right to counsel. However, for the reasons set

forth in the order denying the petition, Petitioner has not made a

substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right in

regard to his second claim: that he was penalized for exercising

his right to trial. Petitioner does not seek a certificate of

appealability on his third claim. Accordingly, the certificate of

appealability is granted, in part. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
