UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

ROBERTO CHAIDEZ, 

Petitioner, 

v. 

M.D. STAINER, et al., 

Respondents. 

No. 2:16-cv-0108-EFB P 

ORDER 

Petitioner is a state prisoner without counsel. He has filed a document entitled “Petition 

for Writ of Habeas Corpus,” using a pre-printed state court form. It is not clear from this filing 

whether petitioner intends to proceed with a habeas action or a civil rights action. Therefore, 

petitioner will be provided the opportunity to submit either a habeas petition or a civil complaint 

using the form available to prisoners in this court. 

Petitioner has not filed an in forma pauperis affidavit or paid the required filing fee. See 

28 U.S.C. §§ 1914(a); 1915(a). Petitioner will be provided the opportunity to either submit the 

appropriate affidavit in support of a request to proceed in forma pauperis or submit the 

appropriate filing fee.
