UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GILBERT CARRASCO,

Petitioner,

v.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Respondent.

Case No.: 17cv2498

ORDER: (1) GRANTING MOTION 

TO PROCEED IN FORMA 

PAUPERIS [ECF No. 14]; and (2) 

DENYING PRIOR MOTION TO 

PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS 

[ECF No. 12] AS MOOT

Petitioner, proceeding pro se, has submitted a Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus 

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241, together with a request to proceed in forma pauperis. 

Petitioner has $0.00 on account at the facility in which he is presently confined. 

Petitioner cannot afford the $5.00 filing fee. Thus, the Court GRANTS Petitioner’s 

application to proceed in forma pauperis [ECF No. 14], and allows Petitioner to prosecute 

the above-referenced action without being required to prepay fees or costs and without 

being required to post security. The Clerk of the Court will file the Petition for Writ of 

Habeas Corpus without prepayment of the filing fee. Because the Court is granting the 

motion to proceed in forma pauperis filed on January 17, 2018 [ECF No. 14], Petitioner’s

prior motion to proceed in forma pauperis, filed on January 4, 2018 [ECF No. 12], is 

DENIED as moot.
