8 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

9 FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

10 TARJHONAIRO KENDRICKS,

11 Petitioner, No. CIV S-06-0588 DFL PAN P

12 vs.

13 JEANNE S. WOODFORD, et al.,

14 Respondents. ORDER

15 /

16 Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a petition for a writ of

17 habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, together with an application to proceed in forma

18 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 Since petitioner may be entitled to relief if the claimed violation of constitutional

23 rights is proved, respondents will be directed to file a response to petitioner’s habeas petition.
