 Plaintiff has not filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis or paid the filing fee.

2

 This case was opened in error by the Clerk of the Court as an application pursuant to 28

U.S.C. § 2254 because plaintiff confusingly used both a petition form, inexplicably directed to

the state supreme court, as well as a civil rights complaint form, directed to the federal court, in

filing this action.
