IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ERIC BROWN,

Petitioner, No. 2:10-cv-0578 KJN P

vs.

GARY SWARTHOUT, et al., 

Respondent. ORDER

 /

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding without counsel who has filed an

application for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. In response to this court’s

order filed March 19, 2010 (Dkt. No. 3), petitioner filed an application to proceed in forma

pauperis (Dkt. No. 5). However, the declaration in support of petitioner’s application is blank

except for petitioner’s signature and the portion relative to petitioner’s prison trust account

information, which was completed by an authorized agent and includes the requisite attachments. 

Dkt. No. 5. Petitioner subsequently wrote the court to inquire whether his in forma pauperis

application had been received. Dkt. No. 6.

Petitioner is required to complete the entire declaration in support of his in forma

pauperis application. However, the trust account information that has been provided is adequate

and need not be obtained a second time.
