UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SHANE GRATTAN,

Petitioner,

v.

JOHN SUTTON, Warden, et al.,

Respondents.

Case No.: 17cv1523-GPC (PCL)

ORDER DENYING IN FORMA 

PAUPERIS APPLICATION 

On July 26, 2017, Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed a Petition for 

a Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. (ECF No. 1.) On August 4, 2017, 

the Court dismissed the Petition without prejudice due to Petitioner’s failure to pay the 

$5.00 filing fee or submit an application to proceed in forma pauperis. (ECF No. 2.) 

Petitioner was instructed that if he wished to proceed with this action he was required to 

either pay the filing fee or submit adequate proof of his inability to do so on or before 

October 9, 2017. (Id.) Petitioner has now filed a motion to proceed in forma pauperis. 

(ECF No. 3.)

REQUEST TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS

The request to proceed in forma pauperis reflects a $5.72 balance in Petitioner’s

prison trust account. The filing fee associated with this type of action is $5.00. See 28 

U.S.C. § 1914(a). Thus, it appears Petitioner can pay the requisite filing fee. Accordingly,
