13 STATE OF CALIFORNIA, et al.,

14 Respondents. ORDER

15 /

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

17 corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Although petitioner states in her request for appointment

18 of counsel that she is indigent, she has not filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis. See

19 28 U.S.C. §§ 1914(a) & 1915(a). Petitioner will be granted thirty days to file an application to

20 proceed in forma pauperis.

21 After petitioner submits a properly completed application to proceed in forma

22 pauperis, the court will entertain petitioner’s request for appointment of counsel and her motion

23 to hold these proceedings in abeyance pending disposition of a state habeas petition filed in the

24 California Supreme Court on December 15, 2006.
