UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

PEDRO MARTINEZ-CARBAJAL, Civil No. 08-0645 WQH (LSP)

Petitioner,

ORDER GRANTING APPLICATION

vs. TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS

MICHAEL CHERTOFF, et al.,

Respondents.

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 that he has no funds in his trust 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. 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 17, 2008
