ORDER REQUIRING PETITIONER TO

ACCOUNT STATEMENT OR PAY FILING

FEE

ORDER DIRECTING CLERK TO SERVE

COPY OF THIS ORDER ON COURT OF

APPEALS

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

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. 

On April 25, 2006, Magistrate Judge Dennis L. Beck issued a Findings and

Recommendation that the petition for writ of habeas corpus be dismissed. On June 26, 2006,

District Judge Oliver W. Wanger adopted the Findings and Recommendation and dismissed the

petition. Judgment was entered on June 26, 2006.

On August 14, 2006, Petitioner filed a notice of appeal. On August 18, 2006, the court

issued an order denying the motion for certificate of appealability, and on August 22, 2006, the

certificate of record was transmitted to the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. 

On September 6, 2006, Petitioner filed a motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis on

appeal. A party who was permitted to proceed in forma pauperis in the district court may proceed in

forma pauperis on appeal without further authorization unless the district court certifies that the

appeal is not taken in good faith. See Fed. R. App. P. 24(a)(3). In this case, Petitioner paid the filing

fee and did not proceed in this Court in forma pauperis. Thus, Petitioner is not automatically entitled

to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal.

Rule 24(a)(1) of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure states that a party who desires to

appeal in forma pauperis must file a motion in the district court and attach to that motion a

completed application to proceed in forma pauperis, along with the issues the party intends to present

on appeal. Petitioner’s motion, however, was not accompanied by a certified copy of his prison trust

account statement for the past six months. See 28 U.S.C. 1914(a); 1915 (a). 

The Court will provide Petitioner with the opportunity to submit either the certified copy of

Petitioner’s prison trust account or the $455.00 filing fee.

Accordingly, the Court ORDERS that:

1. Petitioner is DIRECTED to submit either a certified copy of Petitioner’s prison trust

account statement for the last six months, or the $455.00 filing fee, within thirty (30) days of the

date of service of this order; and

2. The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to serve a copy of this order on the Court of

Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
