IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MOHAMMED KATTAN, No. 2:13-CV-0624-CMK-P

Petitioner, 

vs. ORDER

MARION SPEARMAN,

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 seeks leave to proceed in forma pauperis. 

Petitioner has submitted the affidavit required by 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a) showing that petitioner is

unable to prepay fees and costs or give security therefor. The request will be granted. 

In addition, petitioner seeks to have the court replace a page of his petition with

one submitted with his in forma pauperis application. This is not the proper way to amend a

petition. If petitioner wishes to amend his petition, he must submit a complete amended petition. 

If petitioner believes the additional case citation is essential to his petition, he may file a

complete amended petition within 30 days of the date of this order. If no amended petition is

filed within that time, the court will issue a service order requiring a response to the petition.
