UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GERALDO OJITO, Civil No. 09-2918 JM (POR)

Petitioner,

ORDER GRANTING APPLICATION

v. TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS

KEN CLARK, Warden,

Respondent.

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has submitted a Petition for Writ of Habeas

Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, together with a request to proceed in forma pauperis.

Petitioner has $0.02 on account at the California correctional institution in which he is presently

confined. 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 6, 2010

 Hon. Jeffrey T. Miller
