IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KELVIN RAY ANDERSON, No. CIV S-03-2236 MCE GGH P

Petitioner, 

v. ORDER

GAIL LEWIS, ET AL., 

Respondent.

_____________________________/

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has timely

filed a notice of appeal of this court's March 24, 2005, denial

of his application for a writ of habeas corpus. 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 February

15, 2005, findings and recommendations, petitioner has not made a

substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right. 

Accordingly, a certificate of appealability should not issue in

this action.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: April 18, 2005
