vs.

BRIAN WILLIAMS, et al.,

Case No. 2:17-cv-00155-APG-VCF
ORDER

Respondents.

9
10

Petitioner has submitted an application to proceed in forma pauperis (ECF No. 1) and a

11

petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. The application is incomplete

12

because it is missing a statement of petitioner’s inmate account and because petitioner did not have

13

the financial certificate signed by the appropriate prison official. Nonetheless, the information that

14

petitioner himself provides shows that he is able to pay the full filing fee of five dollars ($5.00).

15

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the application to proceed in forma pauperis (ECF No.

16

1) is DENIED. Petitioner shall have thirty (30) days from the date that this order is entered to have

17

the filing fee of five dollars ($5.00) sent to the clerk of the court. Failure to comply will result in

18

the dismissal of this action.

19

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the clerk of the court shall send petitioner two copies of

20

this order. Petitioner is ordered to make the necessary arrangements to have one copy of this order

21

attached to the check paying the filing fee.
