UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

WILLIAM ORTIZ,

Petitioner,

v.

RAFAEL ZUNIGA,

Respondents.

No. 2:14-cv-2598 KJN P

ORDER

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

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. Petitioner has not, however, filed an in forma pauperis 

affidavit or paid the required filing fee ($5.00). See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1914(a); 1915(a). Petitioner 

filed a form entitled “United States Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Prisons Request for 

Withdrawal of Inmate’s Personal Funds.” (ECF No. 2.) However, the court does not have 

authority to withdraw funds from petitioner’s trust account. Therefore, petitioner is granted the 

opportunity to either submit the appropriate affidavit in support of a request to proceed in forma 

pauperis or submit the appropriate filing fee.

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

1. Petitioner shall submit, within thirty days from the date of this order, an affidavit in 

support of his request to proceed in forma pauperis or the appropriate filing fee; petitioner’s 

failure to comply with this order will result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed;
