UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

TORUS SMITH, 

Petitioner, 

v. 

ERIC ARNOLD, 

Respondent. 

No. 2:15-cv-1235 MCE 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 July 14, 2015, petitioner was directed to either 

submit the appropriate affidavit in support of a request to proceed in forma pauperis or submit the 

appropriate filing fee. Petitioner has now submitted his application 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). 

 In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: Petitioner’s motion to 

proceed in forma pauperis is granted. 

Dated: July 28, 2015
