UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JAFFAR Y. OLIVER,

Petitioner,

v.

AUDREY KING,

Respondent.

No. 2:16-cv-1693 MCE CKD P

ORDER

Petitioner, a civil detainee proceeding pro se, has filed a petition for a writ of habeas 

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. He has also filed an application to proceed in forma 

pauperis.

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

the costs of suit. Accordingly, the application to proceed in forma pauperis will be granted. See

28 U.S.C. § 1915(a). In addition, the undersigned will vacate its earlier recommendation that this 

action be dismissed for failure to pay the filing fee or submit an in forma pauperis application.

Since petitioner may be entitled to relief if the claimed violation of constitutional rights is 

proved, respondent will be directed to file a response to petitioner’s habeas petition.

In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The September 13, 2016 findings and recommendations are hereby VACATED; 

2. Petitioner’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis (ECF No. 9) is granted;
