PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND

18

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed an application for a writ of habeas

19

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, ECF No, 1, and has now filed a completed affidavit in

20

support of his request to proceed in forma pauperis. Review of that affidavit demonstrates that

21

petitioner is qualified under 28 U.S.C. section 1915(a) for that status. Petitioner’s application to

22

proceed in forma paupereis therefore GRANTED. ECF 10 is resolved.
