IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JEFFREY SHAWN HENDERSON, 2:04-cv-1341-GEB-CMK-P

Petitioner, 

vs. ORDER

MIKE KNOWLES, Warden,

Respondent.

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this petition for a writ of

habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Pending before the court is petitioner’s request for

a certificate of appealability (Doc. 41), filed on June 29, 2007. 

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

this court's denial of his application for a writ of habeas corpus. Before petitioner can appeal this

decision, a certificate of appealability must issue. See 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. See Fed. R. App. P.
