UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

KENNETH ARDELL SMITH, SR., 

Petitioner, 

v. 

SACRAMENTO DIVISION SUPERIOR 

COURT, 

Respondent. 

No. 2:16-cv-0401 AC P 

ORDER 

 Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed an application for a writ of habeas 

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Although petitioner has submitted the required certification 

of funds, the certification was not accompanied by the required in forma pauperis affidavit. See 

28 U.S.C. §§ 1914(a); 1915(a). Petitioner will be provided the opportunity to submit the 

appropriate affidavit in support of his request to proceed in forma pauperis. 

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

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

support of his request to proceed in forma pauperis. Petitioner is not required to submit another 

certification of funds. Petitioner’s failure to comply with this order will result in a 

recommendation that this action be dismissed.
