UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

CHRISTOPHER LEONG, 

Petitioner, 

v. 

D. ASUNCION, 

Respondent. 

No. 2:16-cv-1213 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. He has now submitted his application for leave to proceed 

in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915 on the form used by this district. 

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, filed July 21, 2016 (ECF No. 8), is granted. 

Dated: August 3, 2016
