IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KEVIN DUANE HICKMAN,

Petitioner,

v.

UNKNOWN,

Respondent.

No. 2:22-CV-1825-DMC-P

ORDER

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

habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Petitioner has not 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. Petitioner is 

warned that failure to comply with this order may result in the dismissal of this action for lack of 

prosecution and failure to comply with court rules and orders. See Local Rule 110.
