CASE NO. C16-5632 RBL-KLS
ORDER GRANTING APPLICATION
TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS

11 MICHAEL OBENLAND,
12

Respondent.

13
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
in forma pauperis (Dkt. 1) is therefore GRANTED. The Clerk is directed to file petitioner’s
17
petition for writ of habeas corpus without the prepayment of fees. The Clerk is further directed
18
to send a copy of this Order to petitioner.
19
Dated this 30th day of August, 2016.
