IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

IVAN THOMPSON, 

Petitioner, No. CIV S-06-0547 MCE GGH P

vs.

BRIAN O’CONNER, et al., 

Respondents. ORDER

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed an application for a writ of

mandamus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1651. Because petitioner challenges the validity of a finding

that he violated parole, the court construes this action as a petition for 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). 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. The court construes this action as petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to

28 U.S.C. § 2254;

3. The Clerk of the Court is directed to send petitioner a copy of the in forma

pauperis form used by this district;.
