IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

BENJAMIN FITZGERALD, 1:05-CV-1641 AWI WMW HC

Petitioner,

vs. ORDER DENYING MOTION TO 

PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS 

ANTHONY J. MALFI, et al., 

(DOCUMENT #2)

Respondents.

 /

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a petition for writ of habeas corpus

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254.

On December 21, 2005, Petitioner filed an Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis and a

certified copy of his prison trust account statement. Examination of these documents reveals that

Petitioner is able to afford the costs of this action. Specifically, six months prior to filing, Petitioner

has had an average balance of $89.43 in his account. His current balance is $109.98. 

Accordingly, the motion to proceed in forma pauperis is DENIED. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915. 

Petitioner is ORDERED to pay the five dollar ($5.00) filing fee within thirty (30) days of the date of

service of this order. Failure to follow this order may result in a recommendation that the Petition be

dismissed pursuant to Local Rule 11-110.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
