FOLSOM STATE PRISON 

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. 24), filed on January 6, 2006. 

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has timely

filed a Notice of Interlocutory Appeal of the Court's December 7,

2005, Order denying Petitioner’s Motion for an Order Staying the

Instant Proceedings and holding consideration of his federal

habeas corpus petition in abeyance pending exhaustion in state

court.

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). For the reasons set forth in the magistrate

judge’s December 7, 2005, Order, which is hereby ratified and

adopted in full, Petitioner has not made a substantial showing of

the denial of a constitutional right. Moreover, the Court has

not certified the December 7, 2005, Order for Interlocutory

Appeal and Petitioner appears to have waived a right to challenge

the Order by voluntarily withdrawing his Amended Petition on

January 5, 2006.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The magistrate judge’s December 7, 2005, Order is

ratified and adopted in full; and

2. Petitioner’s Request for a Certificate of Appealability 

is denied.

DATE: April 20, 2006
