ORDER
/

15
Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has timely filed a notice of appeal of

16
17

this court's February 19, 2013 denial of his petition for writ of habeas corpus.1 Before petitioner

18

can appeal this decision, a certificate of appealability must issue. 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c); Fed. R.

19

App. P. 22(b).

20

A certificate of appealability may issue under 28 U.S.C. § 2253 “only if the

21

applicant has made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right.” 28 U.S.C.

22

§ 2253(c)(2). The court must either issue a certificate of appealability indicating which issues

23

satisfy the required showing or must state the reasons why such a certificate should not issue.

Petitioner’s notice of appeal is court file stamped April 8, 2013. However, petitioner
signed the notice of appeal on March 12, 2013 and the proof of service indicates that it was
served on that date. Pursuant to the mailbox rule, the notice of appeal is timely filed.

Fed. R. App. P. 22(b).
After careful review of the entire record herein, this court finds that petitioner has

3

not satisfied the requirement for issuance of a certificate of appealability in this case. For the

4

reasons stated in the October 19, 2012 findings and recommendations, petitioner has not made a

5

substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right. Accordingly, a certificate of

6

appealability is not issued in this action.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
