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. However, the petition was not signed, and is therefore 

incomplete. Rule 2(c)(5), 28 U.S.C. foll. § 2254 (petitions must be signed under penalty of 

perjury). Petitioner also has not filed an in forma pauperis application or paid the required filing 

fee ($5.00). See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1914(a); 1915(a). Petitioner will be provided the opportunity to 

correct the deficiency with his petition and to submit either an application in support of a request 

to proceed in forma pauperis or the appropriate filing fee. 

 In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 

1. Within thirty days from the date of this order, petitioner shall return the completed 

signature page, thereby verifying his petition; 

2. Within thirty days from the date of this order, petitioner shall submit an application in 

support of a request to proceed in forma pauperis or the appropriate filing fee;
