UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JEFFRY CURRY, Civil No. 06-1158 JM (PCL)

Petitioner,

ORDER GRANTING PETITIONER’S

MOTION TO PROCEED IN FORMA

PAUPERIS 

v.

TOM CAREY, Warden,

Respondent.

On May 30, 2006, Petitioner, proceeding pro se, submitted a Petition for Writ of Habeas

Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. In its June 21, 2006 Order, the Court dismissed this case

without prejudice because Petitioner failed to either pay the $5.00 filing fee or move to proceed

in forma pauperis. Petitioner was instructed that to have this case reopened he had to either pay

the $5.00 filing fee or submit adequate proof of his inability to pay the fee no later than August

14, 2006.

On August 21, 2006, Petitioner filed a Declaration in Support of a Motion to Proceed in

Forma Pauperis, together with a certificate of funds which reflected a balance of $0.00 on

account at the prison where he is housed. On September 18, 2006, this Court issued an Order

reopening the case and incorrectly stating that Petitioner had paid the $5.00 filing fee. Petitioner

has now filed a document asking the Court to grant his motion to proceed in forma pauperis.

According to the documents provided by Petitioner, he 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. In all other

respects, the Court’s September 18, 2006 Order, including the briefing schedule set forth in that

Order, shall remain the same.

 IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: September 26, 2006
