ORDER

Petitioner, a state prisoner, has filed a motion for leave to exceed the page limitation

and include exhibitswith his application for habeas corpus relief. The Court will grant the

motion. 

Petitioner, however, has not paid the $5.00 filing fee or properly applied for leave to

proceed in forma pauperis. He must pay the fee if he has more than $25.00 in his inmate

account. LRCIV 3.5(b). Petitioner’s present application to proceed in forma pauperis is

deficient because he has not had the appropriate official fill out the “Certificate of

Correctional Official as to Status of Applicant’s Trust Account.” Without information about

his account balance, the Court cannot evaluate whether it would be appropriate to grant

Petitioner leave to proceed in forma pauperis. The Court will allow Petitioner 30 days to

cure this deficiency by either paying the $5.00 fee or by properly applying to proceed in

forma pauperis. The Court will direct the Clerk of Court to send him the proper form for

applying to proceed in forma pauperis.
