FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CHARLES BARKSDALE,

Petitioner,

No. 2:15-cv-0964 DAD P

ORDER

Petitioner, a federal prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed an application for a writ of 

habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. Petitioner has paid the filing fee.

Upon review of petitioner’s application for a writ of habeas corpus, the court observes that 

petitioner has not signed his petition. “Application[s] for a writ of habeas corpus shall be in 

writing signed and verified by the person for whose relief it is intended or by someone acting in 

his behalf.” 28 U.S.C. § 2242. See also Rules 1(b) & 2(c)(5) of the Rules Governing Section 

2254 Cases; E.D. Cal. Local Rule 190. By this order, the court will grant petitioner an 

opportunity to file a signed amended petition.

In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Petitioner’s application for a writ of habeas corpus (Doc. No. 1) is dismissed;

2. Within thirty days of the date of service of this order petitioner shall file an amended 

petition that is signed and states all claims and prayers for relief on the form employed by this

application for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241.
