SAN JOSE DIVISION

ANTIONE SMITH,

Petitioner,

v.

RICHARD KIRKLAND, Warden,

Respondent.

No. C-05-05168 RMW

ORDER DENYING APPLICATION TO

PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS

[Re Docket No. 5]

In connection with his petition for a writ of habeas corpus, Antione Smith seeks to proceed in

forma pauperis. First, the application is incomplete as Smith does not list his last place of

employment, even though the application form requests such information. Second, petitioner's trust

account statement reveals that for the months preceding the filing of this action, petitioner had an

average monthly deposit of $35 into his trust account. This is sufficient to pay the $5.00 habeas

filing fee.
