DEATH PENALTY CASE

ORDER GRANTING PAUPERIS STATUS

On July 21, 2006, the Court provisionally granted Petitioner Rodney Jesse San Nicholas (“San

Nicholas”) in forma pauperis status, pending receipt of a certificate from the Warden of San Quentin

State Prison as to the amount of monies or securities San Nicholas has on deposit in his inmate account.

The Court also notes that a temporary stay of execution was extended on September 27, 2006 and will

remain in effect until November 13, 2006 for the Selection Board of the Eastern District to locate

counsel for appointment in this case. 

The required certificate together with a certified copy of San Nicholas’s inmate account were

filed on October 17, 2006. The documents filed show that San Nicholas has $0.00 in his inmate account.

He therefore qualifies for in pauperis status in thisfederal proceeding, and the Court orders that he shall

proceed in forma pauperis.
