This action is a pro se petition for a writ of habeas corpus filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254,
16
by a Nevada state prisoner.
17
Petitioner has filed a motion to proceed in forma pauperis. (ECF No. 1). Based on the

The petition shall now be filed and served on respondents. A petition for federal habeas
21
corpus should include all claims for relief of which petitioner is aware. If petitioner fails to include
22
such a claim in his petition, he may be forever barred from seeking federal habeas relief upon that
23
claim. See 28 U.S.C. §2254(b) (successive petitions).
24
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the application to proceed in forma pauperis (ECF
25
No. 1) is GRANTED.
