ORDER GRANTING

CERTIFICATE OF

APPEALABILITY

This case has been remanded to the district court for the limited purpose of granting or

denying a certificate of appealability. See 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c); Fed. R. App. P. 22(b); United

States v. Asrar, 116 F.3d 1268, 1270 (9th Cir. 1997). Petitioner filed an appeal of the district

court’s denial of his petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254

challenging the California Board of Prison Terms decision denying him parole. Therefore, the

district court is required to grant or deny a certificate of appealability in the first instance.

The court finds that jurists of reason would find it debatable whether petitioner’s right to

due process was violated by the Parole Board’s decision denying him parole based upon his

contention that there is no evidence to support the Board’s finding that he is unsuitable for

parole. Therefore, the request for a certificate of appealability is GRANTED.

The clerk shall transmit the file, including a copy of this order, to the Court of Appeals. 

See Fed. R. App. P. 22(b).
