I, Neil V. Wake, Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Arizona, certify that I have examined the Petition of Curtis Graylin Simmons for issuance of a Certificate of Appealability, together with the application for Writ of Habeas Corpus filed in this court, and FIND as follows: /X/ Certificate of Appealability is GRANTED. Probable cause exists for the appeal taken in the above-named cause through the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit from the Order of this Court denying petitioner's application for Writ of Habeas Corpus. The court further GRANTS that petitioner be allowed to proceed in forma pauperis for this appeal. The appellant has made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right with respect to the following issues: Because this appeal involves a prior mandate of the court of appeals, it is appropriate for the court of appeals to review its mandate.
