ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS ON APPEAL ORDER DIRECTING CLERK TO SERVE COPY ON COURT OF APPEALS (DOCUMENT #11)

GARY AUSTIN, Magistrate Judge

Petitioner is a prisoner proceeding pro se with a petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241.

On April 26, 2011, judgment was entered dismissing the petition for writ of habeas corpus. On May 16, 2011, petitioner filed a notice of appeal, a motion for certificate of appealability and an application to proceed in forma pauperis. 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.
