UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KEVIN REED,

Petitioner,

v.

PLACER COUNTY SUPERIOR COURT,

Respondent.

No. 2:15-cv-1743 CKD P

ORDER

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus 

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

Examination of the affidavit reveals petitioner is unable to afford the costs of this action. 

Accordingly, leave to proceed in forma pauperis is granted. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a).

The court requires all petitions for writ of habeas corpus be filed on the proper form which 

is provided by this court. Moreover, the court may limit its review of the petition for relief to the 

information on the form only and need not consider any memoranda or attachments to the 

petition. See Rule 2(c), Rules Governing § 2254 Cases. 

Petitioner is hereby notified that in order for this court to review his application, he must 

refile his petition on the proper form. Furthermore, although petitioner may submit a separate 

memorandum to support his petition for relief, the court’s application form must contain all 

relevant claims, and must provide the court with all necessary information.
