On May 17, 2017, Petitioner filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus along with an

19

application to proceed in forma pauperis and a certified copy of his prison trust account

20

statement. Examination of his application to proceed in forma pauperis and his trust account

21

statement reveals that Petitioner is able to afford the costs of this action. Specifically, in the six

22

months prior to filing, Petitioner has had an average balance of at least $100.00 in his account,

23

and his current balance is $227.22.

24

Accordingly, the motion to proceed in forma pauperis is DENIED. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915.

25

Petitioner is ORDERED to pay the $5.00 filing fee within thirty days of the date of service of

26

this order. Failure to follow this order may result in a recommendation that the Petition be

27

dismissed pursuant to Local Rule 11-110.
