IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

HUNG DUONG NGUON, No. CIV S-10-0054-CMK-P

Petitioner, 

vs. ORDER

KATHELEEN L. DICKINSON,

Respondent.

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this petition for a writ of

habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Petitioner has not, however, filed a complete

application to proceed in forma pauperis, along with a “certification from the warden or other

appropriate officer of the place of confinement showing the amount of money or securities that

the petitioner has in any account in the institution” as required by Rule 3(a)(2) of the Federal

Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases, or paid the required filing fee. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1914(a),

1915(a). Petitioner will be provided the opportunity to submit either a completed application to

proceed in forma pauperis, with the required certification, or pay the appropriate filing fee. As to

the certification requirement, while a copy of petitioner’s prison trust account statement certified

by prison officials is not required to satisfy the requirement, such a statement will suffice.
