Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding in propria persona with a petition for writ of habeas

18

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. He initiated this matter in the Central District of California by

19

filing his petition (Doc. 1 at 1-5), his motion to proceed in forma pauperis (Id. at 8-15) and paid a $5

20

filing fee. (Doc. 1) However, according to Petitioner, it does not appear that the motion to proceed in

21

forma pauperis was ever addressed by the Court. (Doc. 9)

22

In support of his motion to proceed in forma pauperis, Petitioner included a statement

23

regarding Petitioner’s lack of financial resources and submitted certifications related to his current

24

financial resources. (Doc. 1 at 8-16). Review of these documents demonstrates he is unable to pay the

25

court fees. Accordingly, Petitioner’s request to proceed in forma pauperis is GRANTED.
