v.
WILLIAM VAN HOOK,
Respondent.

This is a federal habeas action filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Petitioner has submitted an

14

application seeking leave to proceed with this action in forma pauperis. Petitioner’s application

15

demonstrates that he is unable to afford the $5.00 filing fee. Petitioner’s application to proceed

16

(Dkt. 5.) is therefore GRANTED. The Clerk is directed to file petitioner’s petition for writ of

17

habeas corpus without the prepayment of fees. The Clerk is further directed to send a copy of

18

this Order to petitioner.
