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

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

Examination of the affidavit reveals petitioner is unable to afford the costs of this

action. Accordingly, leave to proceed in forma pauperis is granted. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a).

Petitioner has failed to sign the petition. Rule 11(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil

Procedure require that all pleadings be signed by a party proceeding pro se. Accordingly, the

Clerk of the Court will be directed to send petitioner a copy of his petition. Petitioner will be

directed to re-file a signed petition within thirty days from the date of this order. Petitioner is

cautioned that failure to comply with this order will result in a recommendation that this action

be dismissed. 

Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Petitioner is granted leave to proceed in forma pauperis;
