IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

QUINTON PRUITT, No. CIV S-07-1966-MCE-CMK-P

Petitioner, 

vs. ORDER

SACRAMENTO DISTRICT COURT,

Respondent.

 /

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

habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Pending before the court is petitioner’s third

application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis (Doc. 9). Petitioner’s petition will be

addressed separately.

Petitioner has submitted the affidavit required by 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a) which

purportedly shows that petitioner is unable to prepay fees and costs or give security therefor. 

However, upon motion by respondent at a later date, the court will consider whether the

allegation of poverty is untrue based on the application, which looks like petitioner himself may

have signed the certification instead of an authorized officer of the institution of incarceration.
