UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

AZHAR LAL, 

Petitioner, 

v. 

M.D. BITER, 

Respondent. 

No. 2:15-cv-1830-EFB P 

ORDER 

 Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a notice of appeal of this court's 

dismissal 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 court’s December 1, 2015 order of dismissal, 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: March 16, 2016.
