IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

PAO LO,

Petitioner, 2: 05 - cv - 1754 - MCE TJB 

vs.

A.P. KANE,

Respondent. ORDER

________________________________/

Petitioner, a state prisoner, has filed an application for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to

28 U.S.C. § 2254. On December 9, 2011, an order and judgment were issued which adopted the

findings and recommendations of the Magistrate Judge which recommended denying Claims IVI, but rejected the findings and recommendations as to Claims VII and VIII. Thus, the entire

habeas petition was denied. 

Petitioner filed a notice of appeal on January 6, 2012 and subsequently filed a request for

a certificate of appealability on January 12, 2012. If Petitioner wishes to appeal the court’s

decision, a certificate of appealability must issue before he can do so. See 28 U.S.C.

§ 2253(c)(1). A certificate of appealability may issue where “the applicant has made a

substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right.” 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2).

The certificate of appealability must “indicate which specific issue or issues satisfy” the

requirement. 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(3).

A certificate of appealability should be granted for any issue that petitioner can

demonstrate is “‘debatable among jurists of reason,’” could be resolved differently by a different

court, or is “‘adequate to deserve encouragement to proceed further.’” Jennings v. Woodford,

290 F.3d 1006, 1010 (9th Cir. 2002) (quoting Barefoot v. Estelle, 463 U.S. 880, 893 (1983)).

Petitioner has demonstrated that a certificate of appealability should be granted on Claims

VII and VIII as numbered by the Magistrate Judge in the June 17, 2011 findings and

recommendations.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that a certificate of appealability is GRANTED

on Claims VII and VIII as numbered by the Magistrate Judge in the June 17, 2011 findings and

recommendations. A certificate of appealability is DENIED as to Petitioner’s other Claims. 

Dated: December 4, 2012
