IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

BRYANT KEITH BROWN,

Petitioner, No. 2:10-cv-2040 KJN P

vs.

WARDEN, 

Respondent. ORDER

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding without counsel, has filed a petition for a

writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, together with an 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).

Because petitioner may be entitled to relief if the claimed violation of

constitutional rights is proved, respondents will be directed to file a response to petitioner’s

habeas petition.
