IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

STEVEN LYNN,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-04-2126 ALA HC

vs.

A.K. SCRIBNER, Warden, ORDER

Respondent.

 /

Petitioner Steven Lynn, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has timely filed a notice of

appeal of this court's February 20, 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).
