IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

EDWIN BYRNES, III, No. 2:05-cv-1169-MCE-CMK-P

Petitioner, 

vs. ORDER

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. 59), filed on December 19, 2006. 

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

court's November 20, 2006, judgment dismissing this action. 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 October 24, 2006, findings and

recommendations, petitioner has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional

right. Specifically, petitioner’s federal petition was not timely filed. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that petitioner’s request for a certificate of

appealability is denied. 

Dated: January 26, 2007
