1:05-CV-1064 REC LJO HC 

ORDER VACATING NOVEMBER 15, 2005, 

FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATION

THAT HAD RECOMMENDED THE

PETITION BE DISMISSED

[Doc. #7]

ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO

PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS

[Doc. #8]

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

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254.

On November 15, 2005, this Court issued a Findings and Recommendation that

recommended the petition be dismissed for Petitioner’s failure to comply with a court order. The

Court found that Petitioner had failed to submit a completed application to proceed in forma pauperis

or pay the filing fee as ordered by this Court on October 5, 2005. On November 16, 2005, Petitioner

filed a motion to proceed in forma pauperis, and on November 28, 2005, he filed objections to the

Findings and Recommendation. Petitioner states he attempted to comply with the Court’s order but

was prevented from doing so timely due to mishandling by prison staff. The Court finds Petitioner

has shown good cause to vacate the Findings and Recommendation.
