IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MICHAEL J. BRODHEIM,

Petitioner, No. CIV 06-2326 DFL CMK P 

vs.

M. VEAL, Acting Warden, et al., 

Respondents. ORDER

 /

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding with appointed counsel in this application

for a writ of habeas corpus. By order filed November 1, 2006, the court ordered respondents to

file an answer to the habeas petition and noted that petitioner had already paid the required filing

fee. (Doc. 7, n. 1.) Petitioner now informs the court that the order of transfer from the Northern

District mistakenly reflected that he had paid the filing fee and that he has not paid the filing fee. 

Petitioner has also submitted an application to proceed in forma pauperis.

Examination of the in forma pauperis affidavit reveals that petitioner is unable to

afford the costs of suit. Accordingly, the request for leave to proceed in forma pauperis is

granted. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a).

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

DATED: November 9, 2006.
