ORDER

Petitioner in this stayed habeas matter has filed a motion for

20

leave to proceed in forma pauperis.

21

already been granted leave to proceed in forma pauperis in this

22

action, the motion (ECF No. 23) is DENIED AS MOOT.

(ECF No. 23).

As petitioner has

23

From the envelopes attached to the motion, it appears that

24

petitioner first attempted to file his motion in Eighth Judicial

25

District Court. However, the Eighth Judicial District Court Clerk

26

forwarded the motion to this court, presumably because it contained

27

this case number in the caption. It is unclear whether the motion was

28

docketed in the Eighth Judicial District Court or was simply forwarded
to this court.

Petitioner is advised that he may need to re-file the

1

motion in state court and that he should avoid listing this federal

2

case number, in the caption at least, in any motion filed in state

3

court.

4

IT IS SO ORDERED.

5

DATED: This 20th day of August, 2018.
