IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DAVID WAYNE JOHNSON, No. 2:04-cv-01236-MCE-JFM P

Petitioner, 

vs. ORDER

J. WOODFORD, et al.,

Respondents. 

 /

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

court’s March 17, 2008 denial of his application for a writ of habeas corpus. 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).
