IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

EDMOND OSCAR WALKER,

Petitioner,

 v.

M.C. KRAMER,

Respondent. /

No. C 07-02336 SBA (PR)

ORDER DIRECTING PETITIONER TO

FILE COMPLETED 28 U.S.C. § 2254

HABEAS PETITION FORM

Petitioner, a prisoner of the State of California, filed an in forma pauperis (IFP) application. 

The Court's docket reveals that Petitioner has never filed a federal habeas petition in this or

any other federal district court. As such, he has no federal habeas corpus petition pending. Without

an actual petition, this action cannot proceed. 

No later than thirty (30) days from the date of this Order, Petitioner shall file with the Court

the attached 28 U.S.C. § 2254 habeas petition form, completed in full, including the state postconviction relief he has sought and any claims he seeks to raise in federal court. Finally, he should

clearly write in the correct caption and case number for this action, C 07-02336 SBA (PR).

If Petitioner fails to file a completed § 2254 habeas petition form within the thirty-day

deadline, the above-referenced motion will be denied and the case will be closed for failure to

prosecute under Rule 41(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. See Link v. Wabash R.R., 370

U.S. 626, 633 (1962) (pursuant to Rule 41(b), a district court may sua sponte dismiss an action for

failure to prosecute or to comply with a court order); see also Malone v. United States Postal Serv.,

833 F.2d 128, 133 (9th Cir. 1987) (the district court should afford the litigant prior notice before

dismissing for failure to prosecute). 

The Clerk of the Court shall send Petitioner a blank § 2254 habeas petition form. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: 9/4/07
