ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO 

PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS ON 

APPEAL

DIRECTING THE CLERK OF COURT TO 

SERVE THE COURT OF APPEALS WITH A 

COPY OF THIS ORDER 

(Doc. 56)

Petitioner is a prisoner proceeding pro se with a petition for writ of habeas corpus 

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. 

On February 2, 2016, judgment was entered denying the petition for writ of 

habeas corpus. On March 4, 2016, Petitioner filed an application to proceed in forma 

pauperis on appeal. Examination of Petitioner’s application to proceed in forma pauperis 

reveals that Petitioner is unable to afford the costs of an appeal.
