Petitioner,

CASE NO. 3:15-CV-05869-RJB-JRC
ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

v.
DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS et al.,
Respondents.

This case has been referred to United States Magistrate Judge J. Richard Creatura
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and Local MJR 3 and 4.
Petitioner Jack Leck II filed a proposed 2254 habeas petition (Dkt. 1-1) and an
application to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”) (Dkts. 1 and 4). Petitioner’s IFP application
indicates that he has an average monthly salary of $67.00 and that he has $125 in a checking
account. Dkt. 4. Because it appears that petitioner may have funds sufficient to pay the $5.00
filing fee, he should do so or provide the Court with an explanation of why he cannot.
Accordingly, petitioner is ordered to show cause why his IFP application should not be
denied on or before January 19, 2016. In the alternative, petitioner may pay the $5.00 filing fee
