FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

QEUINTON D. ROBINSON, No. CIV S-06-0753-MCE-CMK-P

Petitioner, 

vs. ORDER

Unknown,

Respondent.

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, appears to seek a petition for a writ

of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Pending before the court is petitioner’s

document (Doc. 1), filed on April 5, 2006. 

Rule 2(c) of the Federal Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases requires that every

habeas corpus petition must: (1) specify all the grounds for relief; (2) state the facts supporting

each ground for relief; (3) state the relief requested; (4) be printed, typewritten, or legibly

handwritten; and (5) be signed under penalty of perjury. In the instant case, the petition fails to

meet one or more of these requirements. It appears that petitioner would benefit from the aid of

the court’s form habeas corpus application, which will be forwarded to petitioner. 

Petitioner will be provided an opportunity to file a petition which satisfies Rule

2(c). 

In addition, petitioner has not filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis or
