Petitioner,

ORDER

v.
RENEE BAKER, et al.,
Respondents.

12

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

13

and a petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. In an attached

14

letter, petitioner states that he owes more than $1,400. However, the statement of his

15

account shows that he receives deposits regularly, that he is able to make purchases at

16

the prison’s commissary, and that he has enough money in his account to pay the full

17

filing fee of five dollars ($5.00).

18

It is therefore ordered that the application to proceed in forma pauperis (ECF No.

19

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

20

have the filing fee of five dollars ($5.00) sent to the Clerk of the Court. Failure to comply

21

will result in the dismissal of this action.

22

It is further ordered that the Clerk of the Court send petitioner two (2) copies of this

23

order. Petitioner is ordered to make the necessary arrangements to have one (1) copy of

24

this order attached to the check paying the filing fee.

25

DATED THIS 18th day of January 2018.
