IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ANTHONY PABLO, No. CIV S-07-2179-LKK-CMK-P

Petitioner, 

vs. ORDER

SACRAMENTO DISTRICT COURT,

et al.,

Respondents.

 /

Petitioner, who is proceeding pro se, brings this petition for a writ of habeas

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. 

The court has previously reviewed petitioner’s application for leave to proceed in

forma pauperis (Doc. 2), and concluded that it was deficient because petitioner had not submitted

a “certification from the warden or other appropriate officer of the place of confinement showing

the amount of money or securities that the petitioner has in any account in the institution” as

required by Rule 3(a)(2) of the Federal Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases. The court advised

petitioner that this requirement may be satisfied by having the appropriate prison official

complete the certificate portion of the form application or by submitting a certified copy of

petitioner’s prison trust account statement. Petitioner was provided the opportunity to submit the

required certification or the appropriate filing fee.

On November 5, 2007, petitioner submitted a document entitled “Inmate Balance

Report – Simplified” from the Sacramento County Jail. Petitioner did not submit the completed

certification portion of the court’s form in forma pauperis application. As to inmate balance

statement, which petitioner apparently intends to serve as a certified copy of his trust account

statement, the submission is not certified by any jail official. Petitioner will be given another

opportunity to cure this defect. Again, petitioner is advised that the certification requirement

may be satisfied by having the appropriate prison official complete the certificate portion of the

form application or by submitting a certified copy of petitioner’s trust account statement.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Petitioner shall submit within 30 days of the date of this order, a

certification as required by Rule 3(a)(2), or the appropriate filing fee; and

2. The Clerk of the Court is directed to send petitioner the court’s form

Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis By a Prisoner. 

DATED: November 30, 2007
