IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KENNETH WAYNE RICH,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-05-892 MCE GGH P

vs.

MATTHEW MARTEL, Warden,

Respondent. ORDER

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding with counsel, has timely filed a notice of

appeal of this court's August 26, 2008, 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).
