UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CHEUK FUNG YONG, Civil No. 08cv0007-LAB (WMc)

Petitioner,

ORDER GRANTING APPLICATION

v. TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS

MICHAEL CHERTOFF, et al.,

Respondents.

Petitioner, a Department of Homeland Security detainee proceeding pro se, has submitted

a Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241, together with a request to

proceed in forma pauperis. A review of the affidavit attached to the request to proceed in forma

pauperis indicates that Petitioner cannot afford the $5.00 filing fee. Thus, the Court GRANTS

Petitioner’s application to proceed in forma pauperis, and allows Petitioner to prosecute the

above-referenced action as a poor person without being required to prepay fees or costs and

without being required to post security. The Clerk of the Court shall file the Petition for Writ

of Habeas Corpus without prepayment of the filing fee.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: January 7, 2008

United States District Judge
