Jorge Lopez v. M. D. Mcdonald
November 6, 2012
JORGE LOPEZ, PETITIONER,
v.
M. D. MCDONALD,
RESPONDENT.
The opinion of the court was delivered by: Carolyn K. Delaney United States Magistrate Judge
Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 and paid the filing fee for this action. (Dkt. No. 1; Docket entry dated January 6, 2012.) On June 29, 2012, this court granted respondent's motion to dismiss the petition as untimely. (Dkt. Nos. 14, 15.)
Pending before the court are petitioner's motions to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. (Dkt. Nos. 17, 22.) Examination of the in forma pauperis application filed October 15, 2012 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).
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT petitioner's application to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal (Dkt. Nos. 17, 22) is granted.
