IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOHN S. TINKER, No. 2:06-cv-0726-MCE-KJM-P

Petitioner, 

v. ORDER

TOM L. CAREY, 

Respondent. 

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a notice of appeal of this court's

December 20, 2006 order denying his request for a stay of proceedings to allow him to exhaust

state remedies. In his request for a certificate of appealabilty, petitioner claims that he is

appealing the denial of his petition.

Generally, before a habeas petitioner can appeal a denial of his petition, a certificate of

appealability must issue. 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c); Fed. R. App. P. 22(b). In this case, however,

petitioner is appealing the denial of a stay of the proceedings, which is not an appealable order. 

28 U.S.C. § 1292.
