UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

ANDRE POWE, 

Petitioner, 

v. 

MARTIN D. BITER, 

Respondent. 

No. 2:15-cv-2639 GGH 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. By order of January 29, 2016, petitioner was directed to 

file an in forma pauperis affidavit or pay the required filing fee ($5.00). See 28 U.S.C. §§ 

1914(a); 1915(a). Petitioner has now submitted the appropriate forms in support of a request to 

proceed in forma pauperis. 

Examination of the in forma pauperis application reveals that petitioner is unable to afford 

the costs of suit. Accordingly, the application to proceed in forma pauperis will be granted. See 

28 U.S.C. § 1915(a).
