ORDER REQUIRING PETITIONER TO

SUBMIT COMPLETED APPLICATION TO

PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS ON

APPEAL OR PAY FILING FEE

ORDER DIRECTING CLERK TO SERVE

COPY OF THIS ORDER ON COURT OF

APPEALS

Petitioner Guy Ralph Perea is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a petition for writ of

habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. 

On December 6, 2005, the Magistrate Judge issued an order recommending dismissal of

Petitioner Tammy Dawn Perea. (Doc. 24). On January 12, 2005, the Magistrate Judge issued a

Report and Recommendation that the petition for writ of habeas corpus be dismissed as to the

remaining petitioner, Guy Ralph Perea. (Doc. 29). On March 28, 2005, District Judge Oliver W.

Wanger adopted both recommendations and dismissed the petition. (Doc. 31). Judgment was

entered on March 28, 2005. (Doc. 32).

On April 6, 2005, petitioner filed a notice of appeal. (Doc. 33). On May 12, 2005, the Court

issued an order denying the request for certificate of appealability. (Doc. 33). On May 13, 2005, the

certificate of record was transmitted to the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. (Doc. 36).

On May 24, 2005, petitioner filed a motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal.

(Doc. 39). A party who was permitted to proceed in forma pauperis in the district court may proceed

in forma pauperis on appeal without further authorization unless the district court certifies that the

appeal is not taken in good faith. See Fed. R. App. P. 24(a)(3). In this case, petitioner paid the filing

fee and did not proceed in this court in forma pauperis. Thus, petitioner is not automatically entitled

to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal.

Rule 24(a)(1) of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure states that a party who desires to

appeal in forma pauperis must file a motion in the district court and attach to that motion a

completed application to proceed in forma pauperis, along with the issues the party intends to present

on appeal. Petitioner’s request, however, was not accompanied by a completed application to

proceed in forma pauperis. See 28 U.S.C. 1914(a); 1915 (a). 

The Court will provide petitioner with the opportunity to submit either the appropriate

application and certified copy of petitioner’s prison trust account or the $255.00 filing fee.

Accordingly, the Court ORDERS that:

1. The Clerk of the Court is DIRECTED to send petitioner a copy of the application to

proceed in forma pauperis; 

2. Petitioner is DIRECTED to submit either the completed application, accompanied by

a certified copy of petitioner’s prison trust account statement for the last six months, or the $255.00

filing fee, within twenty (20) days of the date of service of this order; and

3. The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to serve a copy of this order on the Court of

Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
