UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DONTE LEON COROTHERS, Civil No. 07-0823 WQH (CAB)

Petitioner,

ORDER GRANTING APPLICATION

TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS

AND REOPENING CASE

v.

M. EVANS, Warden,

Respondent.

On May 7, 2007, Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, submitted a Petition for

Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On May 14, 2007, this Court dismissed

the petition for failure to satisfy the filing fee requirement. Petitioner was notified that, in order

to have his case reopened, he had to either (1) pay the filing fee or (2) provide adequate proof

of his inability to pay, no later than July 9, 2007.

On June 18, 2007, Petitioner filed a request to proceed in forma pauperis. According to

his trust account statement, Petitioner has no funds on account at the California correctional

institution in which he is presently confined. Petitioner cannot afford the $5.00 filing fee. Thus,

the Court GRANTS Petitioner’s application to proceed in forma pauperis and ORDERS the

case reopened.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: June 25, 2007
