ORDER
/
16
Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding without counsel, has filed a petition for a
17
writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, together with an application to proceed in
18
forma pauperis.
19
Examination of the in forma pauperis application reveals that petitioner is unable
20
to afford the costs of suit. Accordingly, the application to proceed in forma pauperis will be
21
granted. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a).
22
Because petitioner may be entitled to relief if the claimed violation of
23
constitutional rights is proved, respondents will be directed to file a response to petitioner’s
24
habeas petition.
