IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

FREDERICK FOX,

Petitioner, No. CIV-S-05-0897 MCE KJM P 

vs.

CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF

CORRECTIONS, et al.,

Respondents. ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

 /

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

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

Examination of the in forma pauperis affidavit reveals that petitioner is unable to

afford the costs of suit. Accordingly, the request for leave to proceed in forma pauperis is

granted. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a).

Petitioner appears to challenge the revocation of parole. However, from

petitioner’s habeas application, it appears petitioner expected to be released from prison on

September 7, 2005. Accordingly, the court will order petitioner to show cause why this case

should not be dismissed as moot.
