This application must be verified or it will be dismissed for non-compliance. For

Notary Public” before a notary public unless he is represented by a licensed attorney, in which
case the attorney may sign the verification as petitioner.
A non-inmate non-attorney petitioner must sign the “Oath Before a Notary Public”
before a notary public and must also complete “Petitioner’s Information.” An inmate petitioner
