UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DARIUS BUTLER, Civil No. 16cv0039-GPC (MDD)

Petitioner,

ORDER GRANTING APPLICATION

v. TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS

W. L. MONTGOMERY, Warden, et al.,

Respondents.

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has submitted a Petition for Writ of Habeas

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

Petitioner has no funds on account at the California correctional institution 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: January 11, 2016
