UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RICARDO VELASQUEZ,

Petitioner,

v.

STU SHERMAN,

Respondent.

No. 1:15-cv-01288-AWI-JLT (HC)

ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO 

PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS ON 

APPEAL

(Doc. No. 45)

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding with an appeal to the Ninth Circuit Court of 

Appeals of the denial by the United States District Court of his petition for writ of habeas corpus 

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. 

On November 8, 2017, this Court denied the petition for writ of habeas corpus. On 

December 1, 2017, Petitioner filed a notice of appeal to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. On 

the same date, the District Court sent Petitioner a bill for the $255.00 appeal filing fee.

On February 26, 2018, Petitioner filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis on 

appeal. Examination of the documents reveals that Petitioner is unable to afford the costs of the 

appeal. See Rule 24(a)(1), Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure, and 28 U.S.C. § 1915.
