ORDER DENYING AS MOOT

PETITIONER’S MOTION TO COMPEL

(Doc. 7)

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding with a petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to

28 U.S.C. § 2254. 

On June 19, 2006, Petitioner filed his petition in the Sacramento Division of this Court. 

(Doc. 1). On June 27, 2006, the case was transferred to the Fresno Division. (Doc. 3). On July 10,

2006, Petitioner filed the instant Motion to Compel, seeking an order from the Court compelling the

Inmate Trust Office at his prison to produce the necessary forms to permit Petitioner to file an

application to proceed in forma pauperis. (Doc. 7). On August 15, 2006, Petitioner chose to pay the

$5.00 filing fee in lieu of filing an application to proceed in forma pauperis, thereby rendering any

such application unnecessary. Because the filing fee is paid and an application to proceed in forma

pauperis is no longer required, Petitioner’s Motion to Compel, based on his need to obtain

documents to complete an application to proceed in forma pauperis, is now moot.

Accordingly, the Court HEREBY ORDERS that Petitioner’s Motion to Compel (Doc. 7), is 

DENIED as MOOT. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
