Upon consideration of appellant's response to this court's August 16, 1991 order to show cause, it is

2
ORDERED that the order to show cause be discharged.   It is

3
FURTHER ORDERED, on the court's own motion, that the appeal be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.   A certificate of probable cause is a jurisdictional prerequisite to an appeal by a state prisoner from the denial of a federal habeas petition and may be issued only upon a "substantial showing of the denial of a federal right."   See Garris v. Lindsay, 794 F.2d 722, 724 (D.C.Cir.), cert. denied, 479 U.S. 993 (1986).

4
The Clerk is directed to withhold issuance of the mandate herein until seven days after disposition of any timely petition for rehearing.   See D.C.Cir.Rule 15.
