UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JONATAN MALDONADOSALGADO,

Petitioner,

v.

WARDEN,

Respondent.

Case No. 2:23-cv-02252-JDP (HC)

ORDER

SCREENING PETITION AND OFFERING 

LEAVE TO AMEND

GRANTING PETITIONER’S 

APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN FORMA 

PAUPERIS

ECF Nos. 1 & 5 

RESPONSE DUE IN THIRTY DAYS

Petitioner, a federal prisoner, brings this action under section 2241 and alleges that the 

bureau of prisons has failed to apply earned time credits to which he is entitled. ECF No. 1. I 

have reviewed the petition and determined that it is incomplete. I will give petitioner leave to 

amend and will grant his application to proceed in forma pauperis. ECF No. 5. 

Petitioner argues that he is entitled to certain credits under the First Step Act. ECF No. 1 

at 1. His argument section ends midsentence, however, and I cannot discern the specifics of his 

claims. Id. at 1-2. I will give him leave to amend to file a complete petition.
