UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MICHAEL MITCHELL, Civil No. 13-0634 DMS (MDD)

Petitioner,

ORDER DISMISSING CASE 

WITHOUT PREJUDICE

v.

MATTHEW CATE, Warden

Respondent.

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a Petition for Writ of Habeas

Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, but has failed to pay the $5.00 filing fee and has failed to

move to proceed in forma pauperis. Because this Court cannot proceed until Petitioner has either

paid the $5.00 filing fee or qualified to proceed in forma pauperis, the Court DISMISSES the

case without prejudice. See Rule 3(a), 28 U.S.C. foll. § 2254. If Petitioner wishes to proceed

with this case, he must submit, no later than June 7, 2013, a copy of this Order with the $5.00

fee or with adequate proof of his inability to pay the fee. The Clerk of the Court is directed to

send Petitioner a blank in forma pauperis application. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: April 2, 2013

HON. DANA M. SABRAW

United States District Judge
