Respondent.

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 in
17 forma pauperis (Dkt. 1) 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 to
19 send a copy of this Order to petitioner.
