IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

HARVEY WILLARD 

MERRIWEATHER,

Petitioner, No. 2:08-cv-1977 JFM (HC)

vs.

UNITED STATES PAROLE

COMMISSION,

Respondent. ORDER

 /

Petitioner, a federal prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a petition for writ of

mandamus together with a request for leave to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C.

§ 1915. Petitioner has not, however, filed his application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis

on the form used by this district. Use of the form assists petitioner to establish and the court to

evaluate petitioner’s in forma pauperis status in light of 28 U.S.C. § 1915 (b)(1) and (2). 

Accordingly, petitioner’s application will be dismissed and petitioner will be provided the

opportunity to submit the application on the appropriate form. Petitioner is cautioned that he

must also provide a certified copy of his prison trust account statement for the six month period

immediately preceding the filing of his petition.
