IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ANTHONY S. BERRINGER,

Petitioner,

 v.

THE PEOPLE,

Respondent. /

No. C 07-02298 CW (PR)

ORDER DIRECTING PETITIONER TO

FILE COMPLETED 28 U.S.C. § 2254

HABEAS PETITION FORM

Petitioner, a prisoner of the State of California, filed a

document with the Court in the instant case, which was opened as a

habeas corpus action. 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 07-02298 CW (PR).

If Petitioner fails to file a completed § 2254 habeas petition

form within the thirty-day deadline, 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

The Clerk of the Court shall send Petitioner a blank § 2254

habeas petition form. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
