(A) shows in the detail prescribed by Form 4 of the Appendix of

Forms the party’s inability to pay or to give security for fees and

costs;

(B) claims an entitlement to redress; and

(C) states the issues that the party intends to present on appeal.

Fed. R. App. P. 24(a)(2). Petitioner’s application to proceed in forma pauperis demonstrates his

inability to pay or to give security for fees and costs. In his July 18, 2008 request for a certificate

of appealability, petitioner claimed entitlement to redress and described the issues he intended to

present on appeal. Petitioner has complied with the requirements of Fed. R. App. P. 24(a). 

Accordingly, his request to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal will be granted.

In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that petitioner’s September 5,

2008, request to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal is granted.

Dated: September 26, 2008
