WILLIAM J. WHITSITT, Petitioner, v. STATE OF CALIFORNIA, Respondent.
ORDER DIRECTING PETITIONER TO SUBMIT A COMPLETE IN FORMA PAUPERIS APPLICATION AND INMATE TRUST ACCOUNT STATEMENT
JEREMY D. PETERSON UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Petitioner, a county inmate proceeding without counsel, has filed an application for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 and an application to proceed in forma pauperis. However, the certificate portion of the application, which must be completed by petitioner's institution of incarceration, has not been completed. Also, petitioner has not filed a certified copy of his inmate trust account statement for the six-month period immediately preceding the filing of the complaint. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2). I will give petitioner the opportunity to submit a completed in forma pauperis application and a certified copy of his trust statement in support of his application.
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.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
