IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ALFONSO ALFARO,

Petitioner, 2:03-cv-1288-GEB-KJM-P

vs.

PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF 

CALIFORNIA,

Respondent. ORDER

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has timely filed a notice of appeal of

this court's November 15, 2006 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 August 30, 2006 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.

Petitioner has filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal and a

request for a CJA 23 form, which is a financial affidavit. These requests are denied without

prejudice to their renewal in the Court of Appeal.

Petitioner has also requested a CJA 24 form, a request for designation of

transcripts. There were no hearings held in this case, so there is nothing to be transcribed. This

request is denied. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: December 11, 2006
