IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ROBERT H. JACKSON,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-05-0081 FCD KJM P

vs.

SCOTT KERNAN (Warden),

Respondent. ORDER

 /

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

habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254, together with a request to proceed in forma pauperis.

Examination of the in forma pauperis affidavit reveals that petitioner is unable to

afford the costs of suit. Accordingly, the request for leave to proceed in forma pauperis is

granted. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a).

Because petitioner may be entitled to the requested relief if the claimed violation

of constitutional rights is proved, respondent will be directed to file an answer.
