UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TERA LEE NICHOLSON,

Petitioner,

v.

D. K. JOHNSON,

Respondent.

No. 2:13-cv-02407 DAD 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. § 2254. 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 

will be provided the opportunity to either submit the appropriate affidavit in support of a request 

to proceed in forma pauperis or submit the appropriate filing fee.

Petitioner has also filed with this court a notice of appeal and application for a certificate 

of appealability, both of which are directed to the misnamed U.S. District Court for the Central 

District of California, Eastern Division. Petitioner is advised that a certificate of appealability 

and notice of appeal may be filed with this court at the conclusion of petitioner’s federal habeas 

action should petitioner seek an appeal from this court’s final order. Such filings do not apply at 

this stage of the proceedings. See 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c); Fed. R. App. P. 22(b).
