dismissal of this action because petitioner had not timely complied with the court’s February 7, 2008

order. In the interests of justice, the court will vacate the findings and recommendations and allow

D.K. SISTO, Warden,

Respondent. ORDER

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed an amended petition for a

writ of habeas corpus in accordance with this court’s February 7, 2008 order. Petitioner has also 1

filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis.

to afford the costs of suit. Accordingly, the application to proceed in forma pauperis will be

granted. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a).
