JOHN EDWARD LEHNER, 

Petitioner, No. CIV S-00-1953 DFL CMK P

vs.

DIRECTOR CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT

OF CORRECTIONS,

Respondent. ORDER

 /

On April 22, 2005, petitioner 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. 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).
