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 a notice of appeal from 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 (“Board”) decision denying him parole. 

Therefore, the district court is required to grant or deny a certificate of appealability in the first

instance. See Hayward v. Marshall, 603 F.3d 546 (9th Cir. 2010) (en banc).

The Court finds that jurists of reason would find it debatable whether Petitioner’s right to

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