relief in this court, he must file a habeas petition using the proper form. He must also file an in 

forma pauperis affidavit or pay the required filing fee ($5.00). See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1914(a); 

1915(a). 

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

1. Mr. Deshon shall submit, within thirty days from the date of this order, an affidavit in 

support of his request to proceed in forma pauperis or the appropriate filing fee; 

2. Mr. Deshon shall submit, within thirty days from the date of this order, an application 

for writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254;
