Petitioner,

No. 2:15-cv-0416 GEB CKD P

v.

ORDER

SCOTT FRAUENHEIM,

15

Respondent.

16
Petitioner, a California prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a petition for a writ of habeas

17
18

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, together with an application to proceed in forma pauperis.

19

Examination of the in forma pauperis application reveals that petitioner is unable to afford the

20

costs of suit. Accordingly, the application to proceed in forma pauperis will be granted. See 28

21

U.S.C. § 1915(a).
Petitioner has filed a motion asking that this matter be stayed while he exhausts state court

22
23

remedies with respect to some of the claims presented in his petition for writ of habeas corpus.

24

Good cause appearing, that request will be granted. Petitioner is warned, however, that by

25

staying this action the court makes no determination as to whether any of petitioner’s claims are

26

barred by the applicable statute of limitations or whether the limitations period should be tolled.
