CODIE MS WALKER,

Case No. 3:18-cv-00154-MMD-VPC

10

Petitioner,

ORDER

v.

RENEE BAKER, et al.,
12
Respondents.

14

Before the Court is Petitioner Codie MS Walker’s application to proceed in forma

15

pauperis (ECF No. 4) on his petition for a writ of habeas corpus (ECF No. 1-1). Based on

16

the current information about Petitioner’s financial status, including any additional

17

information he may have provided, the court finds that he is able to pay the full fee

18

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915.

19

It is therefore ordered that Petitioner’s motion for leave to proceed in forma

20

pauperis without having to prepay the full filing fee (ECF No. 4) is denied. Petitioner will

21

have thirty (30) days from the date of this Order to have the $5.00 filing fee sent to the

22

Clerk. Failure to do so may result in the dismissal of this action. The Clerk is directed to

23

retain the petition but not file it at this time.

24

DATED THIS 7th day of May 2018.
