Pro se petitioner and adjudicated habitual criminal Jeffrey Lynn Franklin is serving a 10-
10 year sentence the Three Lakes Valley Conservation Camp. 1 He petitions for a writ of habeas
11 corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 and argues that he was denied effective assistance of appellate
12 counsel. 2 Franklin failed to pay the $5.00 filing fee or apply for leave to proceed in forma
13 pauperis when he initiated this action, so I gave him one month to do one of those things. 3 I also
14 informed Franklin that, if he chose to file a pauper application, the application must be complete
15 and include “a signed financial certificate and a statement of his inmate account for the last six
16 months.” 4 Franklin has since filed a pauper application, but it is on the wrong form and lacks the
17 financial documents that I told him to include. 5 Nevertheless, I will give Franklin one last
18 chance to file a fully complete pauper application or pay the $5.00 filing fee.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Franklin’s application for leave to proceed
20 in forma pauperis [ECF No. 6] is DENIED without prejudice.
21
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Franklin has until June 11, 2018, to either: (a) file a
22 FULLY COMPLETE application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis that INCLUDES a
