appears to be a petition for collateral relief addressed to the California Court of Appeal. If

18

petitioner intended to file an application for writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254, he

19

must file the application on the proper form. He must also either pay the required filing fee or

20

file an application requesting leave to proceed in forma pauperis. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1914(a),

21

1915(a).

Petitioner will be provided the opportunity to: 1) file an application for writ of

23

habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 on the proper form; and 2) submit an application

24

requesting leave to proceed in forma pauperis or submit the appropriate filing fee. If petitioner

25

intended to file a petition for collateral relief in the California Court of Appeal he should submit

26

his petition to that court and he need not take any further action here.
