UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

THEODORE ERVIN STITH,

Petitioner,

v.

JEFFREY McCOMBER,

Respondent.

No. 2:15-cv-0504 DAD P

ORDER

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed an application for a writ of habeas 

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, together with a request for leave to proceed in forma 

pauperis. Petitioner has not submitted his in forma pauperis request on the form used by the 

United States District Court for the Eastern District of California.

Petitioner’s request for leave to proceed in forma pauperis will be denied, and petitioner

will be granted thirty days to submit a new request on a proper form. Petitioner is cautioned that 

the form includes a section that must be completed by a prison official, and the application form 

must be accompanied by a certified copy of petitioner’s prison trust account statement for the sixmonth period immediately preceding the filing of this action. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Petitioner’s April 3, 2015 request for leave to proceed in forma pauperis (ECF No. 12)

is denied without prejudice;
