ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO

PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS

[Docs. #2]

ORDER DISMISSING MOTIONS TO

SUBSTITUTE COUNSEL

[Docs. #4,5]

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a petition for writ of habeas corpus

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254.

On December 1, 2005, Petitioner filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis and a

certified copy of his prison trust account. Examination of these documents reveals that Petitioner is

unable to afford the costs of this action. Accordingly, the motion to proceed in forma pauperis is

GRANTED. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915.

On December 13, 2005, Petitioner filed a motion to act as counsel in pro per and a motion for

substitution of counsel. These motions are state court form motions which are inappropriately

brought in this federal habeas action. To the extent that Petitioner seeks to represent himself, he is

advised that he already has pro per status. Accordingly, the motions are hereby DISMISSED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
