ORDER DENYING MOTIONS

FOR CERTIFICATE OF

APPEALABILITY

Petitioner is a prisoner proceeding with a Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant

to 28 U.S.C. Section 2254. On November 28, 2007, and December 26, 2007, Petitioner

filed requests for a certificate of appealability. The controlling statute, 28 U.S.C. § 2253,

provides as follows:

(a) In a habeas corpus proceeding or a proceeding under section 2255 before a district

judge, the final order shall be subject to review, on appeal, by the court of appeals for

the circuit in which the proceeding is held.

(b) There shall be no right of appeal from a final order in a proceeding to test the

validity of a warrant to remove to another district or place for commitment or trial a

person charged with a criminal offense against the United States, or to test the validity

of such person's detention pending removal proceedings.

(c)(1) Unless a circuit justice or judge issues a certificate of appealability, an appeal

may not be taken to the court of appeals from--

(A) the final order in a habeas corpus proceeding in which the detention complained

of arises out of process issued by a State court; or

(B) the final order in a proceeding under section 2255.

(2) A certificate of appealability may issue under paragraph (1) only if the applicant

has made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right.

(3) The certificate of appealability under paragraph (1) shall indicate which specific

issue or issues satisfy the showing required by paragraph (2).

In the present case, the court finds that Petitioner has failed to carry his burden of

making a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right. In particular, the court

notes that no final, appealable order has yet been entered in this case. Accordingly,

Petitioner’s requests for a certificate of appealability are DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
