UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CESAR RAMOS BAUTISTA, Civil No. 08-0684 JM (NLS)

Petitioner,

ORDER GRANTING APPLICATION

vs. TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS

MICHAEL CHERTOFF, Secretary,

Department of Homeland Security; RON

SMITH; District Director, 

Respondent.

Petitioner, a detainee in the custody of the Department of Homeland Security, Bureau of

Immigration and Customs Enforcement, proceeding pro se, has filed a Petition for Writ of

Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. Petitioner has also filed a request to proceed in

forma pauperis which reflects a zero dollar trust account balance at the facility in which he is

presently confined.. Petitioner has no money on account at the facility in which he is presently

confined. Petitioner cannot afford the $5.00 filing fee. Thus, the Court GRANTS Petitioner’s

application to proceed in forma pauperis, and allows Petitioner to prosecute the above-referenced

action as a poor person without being required to prepay fees or costs and without being required

to post security. The Clerk of the Court shall file the Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus without

prepayment of the filing fee.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: April 21, 2008
