ORDER GRANTING APPLICATION
TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS

v.
OBENLAND, et al.,
Respondents.

14

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

15

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

16

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

17

in forma pauperis (Dkt. 6) is therefore GRANTED. The Clerk is directed to file petitioner’s

18

petition for writ of habeas corpus without the prepayment of fees. The Clerk is further directed

19

to send a copy of this Order to petitioner.

20

Dated this 11th day of September, 2017.
