UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ANDRE QUINNINE,

Petitioner,

v.

ROBERT BURTON, Warden,

Respondent.

No. 2:20-cv-0431 KJN P

ORDER

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

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. However, the petition was not signed by petitioner. Parties 

proceeding without counsel are required to sign all pleadings, motions, and other papers 

submitted to the court for filing. Fed. R. Civ. P. 11(a). Thus, the court is unable to consider the 

petition unless petitioner signs and re-files the petition. 

Moreover, petitioner has not filed an in forma pauperis affidavit or paid the required filing 

fee ($5.00). See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1914(a); 1915(a). Accordingly, petitioner is 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. Within thirty days from the date of this order, petitioner shall submit the following:

a. The § 2254 petition bearing his signature; and

form used by this district.
