IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MICHAEL JOEL BROWN,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-09-1633 KJM P

vs.

ROBERT A. HOREL, et al., 

Respondents. ORDER

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a petition for a writ of

habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, together with an application to proceed in forma

pauperis.

Examination of the in forma pauperis application reveals that petitioner is unable

to afford the costs of suit. Accordingly, the application to proceed in forma pauperis will be

granted. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a).

On March 16, 2009, petitioner filed a motion requesting leave to file an amended

petition. Pursuant to Rule 15(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, petitioner’s motion will

be granted. Petitioner will be granted thirty days within which to file his amended petition. 

Failure to file an amended petition within thirty days will result in dismissal.
