WILLIAM M. BRYSON, JR., Petitioner, v. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Respondent.
ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS ON APPEAL
DIRECTING CLERK TO SERVE THE COURT OF APPEALS
(Doc. 14)
Petitioner is a prisoner proceeding pro se with an application for relief from an illegal restraint.
On September 20, 2011, judgment was entered dismissing the petition. On October 11, 2011, Petitioner filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal. Examination of Petitioner's application to proceed in forma pauperis reveals that Petitioner is unable to afford the costs of an appeal. Accordingly, the application to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal is GRANTED. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915. The Clerk is directed to serve a copy of this order on the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. IT IS SO ORDERED.
