ORDER GRANTING

PETITIONER’S REQUEST TO

PROCESS APPEAL

(Docket No. 14)

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, challenging the California Board of Prison Terms’ decision

denying parole. On February 19, 2008, the Court denied the instant petition on the merits and

entered judgment in favor of Respondent. On March 12, 2008, Petitioner filed a notice of appeal

and a request to process the appeal without a certificate of appealability. The court will GRANT

Petitioner’s request to process the appeal and waive a certificate of appealability. 

DISCUSSION 

Petitioner requests that the Court process his appeal and waive the certificate of

appealability. Petitioner is correct that a certificate of appealability is not required in the instant

habeas action because petitioner challenged the Board of Prison Terms’ decision denying him

parole. See Rosas v. Nielsen, 428 F.3d 1229, 1232 (9th Cir. 2005) (a state prisoner challenging

the Board of Prison Terms’ administrative decision to deny his request for parole does not need

to obtain a certificate of appealability). Accordingly, Petitioner’s request to process the appeal

(docket no. 14) is GRANTED. The Clerk shall transmit the file, including a copy of this order,

to the Court of Appeals. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
