ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO
APPEAL IN FORMA PAUPERIS
v.
RICHARD KIRKLAND, Warden,
15
Respondent.
[Re Docket No. 26, 39]
16
Petitioner Antoine Smith, a prisoner currently incarcerated at California State Prison,
17
18
Solano, appeals the dismissal of his habeas corpus petition. The court decides this petition
19
pursuant to Rule 24 of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure. Although the court previously
20
denied Smith's motion to proceed in forma pauperis in his petition for a writ of habeas corpus, the
21
filing fee was only $5. Dkt. No. 11. The filing fee for his appeal is $455. Smith's average
22
monthly income between January and July of 2012—the most recent provided to the court—was
23
$18.10. As Smith clearly cannot pay the fee, the court GRANTS Smith's motion to proceed in
24
forma pauperis.
