Opinion

MICHAEL LEE LEONARD, Petitioner, v. R. L. GOWER, Respondent. No. 2:15-cv-2097 KJN P United States District Court, E.D. California. October 20, 2015

          ORDER

          KENDALL J. NEWMAN, Magistrate Judge.

         Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed an application for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Petitioner has not, however, filed an in forma pauperis affidavit or paid the required filing fee ($5.00). See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1914(a); 1915(a). Therefore, petitioner will be provided the opportunity to either submit the appropriate affidavit in support of a request to proceed in forma pauperis or submit the appropriate filing fee.

         In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

         1. Petitioner shall submit, within thirty days from the date of this order, an affidavit in support of his request to proceed in forma pauperis or the appropriate filing fee; petitioner's failure to comply with this order will result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed; and

         2. The Clerk of the Court is directed to send petitioner a copy of the in forma pauperis form used by this district.
