IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

O’SHAW JOHNSON, No. CIV-S-01-1463 MCE/PAN P

Plaintiff, 

v. ORDER

J. MAYHEW, 

Defendant.

 /

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma

pauperis, filed this civil rights action seeking relief under 42

U.S.C. § 1983. 

On September 15, 2005, the court granted summary judgment

for defendant. Plaintiff appealed and requests a certificate of

appealability. This court finds the appeal is in good faith;

however, certificates of appealability pertain to habeas corpus,

not civil rights, actions. See 28 U.S.C. § 2253.
