No. CV 06-1771-PHX-SMM (DKD)

ORDER

On July 17, 2006, Petitioner Jorge Maciel-Rodriguez, confined in the Federal

Correctional Institution-Phoenix, filed a “Petition for Habeas Corpus Relief under 28 U.S.C.

§ 2241 by Person in Federal Custody” (Doc. #1). Petitioner did not pay the statutory $5.00

filing fee or file an Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis.

I. Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis and Payment of Filing Fee

Section 1914(a), U.S.C., establishes a $5.00 filing fee for applications for a writ of

habeas corpus. Local Rule of Civil Procedure (“LRCiv”) 3.5(b) requires that “[i]f a habeas

corpus petitioner desires to prosecute the petition in forma pauperis, the petitioner shall file

an application to proceed in forma pauperis on a form approved by the Court, accompanied

by a certification of the warden or other appropriate officer of the institution in which the

petitioner is confined as to the amount of money or securities on deposit to the petitioner’s

credit.” However, if a petitioner has in excess of $25.00 in his inmate account, LRCiv 3.5(b)

requires petitioner to pay the $5.00 filing fee.

Petitioner has neither paid the $5.00 filing fee nor filed an Application to Proceed In

Forma Pauperis. Petitioner will be given 30 days from the filing date of this Order to file

a properly executed and certified “Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis By A Prisoner

(Habeas),” using the form included with this Order, or pay the $5.00 filing fee.

II. Petition not on Court-Approved Form

Pursuant to LRCiv 3.5(a), Petitioner is required to use a court-approved form when

he files a pro se motion pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. Petitioner has not done so.

Accordingly, the Petition will be dismissed without prejudice, with leave to amend, in order

for Petitioner to file an amended petition on a court-approved form. To assist Petitioner, the

Court will direct the Clerk of Court to send Petitioner a current, court-approved form for

filing a Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus by a Person in Federal Custody pursuant to 28

U.S.C. § 2241.

Petitioner’s amended petition should clearly set out each claim Petitioner is making

and should also provide information as to how Petitioner has first exhausted his

administrative remedies as to each and every claim. If Petitioner can not fit all of his

supporting facts or arguments in favor of a particular ground on the court-approved form,

then he may continue on an attachment, but each matter on any attachment must be clearly

referenced to a particular ground on the court-approved form. 

Petitioner is cautioned that if he fails to file his amended petition on the courtapproved form included with this Order, it will be stricken and the action dismissed without

further notice to Petitioner.

Petitioner is advised that the amended petition must be retyped or rewritten in its

entirety on the court-approved form and may not incorporate any part of the original petition

by reference. Any amended petition submitted by Petitioner should be clearly designated as

such on the face of the document.

An amended petition supersedes the original petition. Ferdik v. Bonzelet, 963 F.2d

1258, 1262 (9th Cir. 1992); Hal Roach Studios v. Richard Feiner & Co., Inc., 896 F.2d 1542,

1546 (9th Cir. 1990). After amendment, the original pleading is treated as nonexistent.

Ferdik, 963 F.2d at 1262. Thus, grounds for relief alleged in an original petition which are

not alleged in an amended petition are waived. King v. Atiyeh, 814 F.2d 565, 567 (9th Cir.

1987).

III. Warnings

A. Address Changes

Petitioner must file and serve a notice of a change of address 10 days before his move

is effective, if practicable. See LRCiv 83.3(d). Petitioner shall not include a motion for other

relief with his notice of change of address. 

B. Copies

Petitioner must submit an additional copy of every original motion or other document

filed for use by the District Judge or Magistrate Judge to whom the case is assigned. See

LRCiv 5.4. Failure to comply with this requirement may result in the motion or document

being stricken without further notice to Petitioner.

C. Possible Dismissal

Petitioner is warned that if he fails to timely comply with every provision of this

Order, including these warnings, this action will be dismissed without further notice. See

Ferdik, 963 F.2d at 1260-61 (district court may dismiss action for failure to comply with any

order of the Court). 

IT IS ORDERED:

(1) Petitioner shall have 30 days from the filing date of this Order to either pay the

$5.00 filing fee or file a properly executed and certified “Application to Proceed In Forma

Pauperis By A Prisoner (Habeas),” using the form included with this Order.

(2) Petitioner’s “Petition for Habeas Corpus Relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 by Person

in Federal Custody” (Doc. #1) is dismissed without prejudice, with leave to amend.

Petitioner shall have 30 days from the filing date of this Order to file an amended petition

to show how he is being held in custody unlawfully; to specify all the grounds for relief

which are available to him; to set forth in summary form the facts supporting each of his

grounds; and to provide complete information as to whether and how he has first exhausted

his administrative remedies as to each ground on which he requests action by this Court.

Petitioner should take notice that if he fails to timely file an amended petition, the Clerk of

Court will enter a dismissal of the action without further notice to Petitioner. Petitioner

should also take notice that if he fails to file the amended petition on a court-approved form,

it will be stricken and the action dismissed without further notice to Petitioner.

(3) The Clerk of Court must enter a judgment of dismissal without prejudice of this

action, without further notice to Petitioner, if Petitioner fails to either pay the $5.00 filing fee,

or file a properly executed and certified Application to Proceed within 30 days from the filing

date of this Order.

(4) The Clerk of the Court must enter a judgment of dismissal without prejudice of

this action, without further notice to Petitioner, if Petitioner fails to submit an amended

petition on the court-approved form within 30 days from the filing date of this Order.

(5) The Clerk of Court must send Petitioner current court-approved forms for filing

a “Petition For Writ Of Habeas Corpus By A Person In Federal Custody (28 U.S.C. § 2241)”

and an “Application To Proceed In Forma Pauperis By A Prisoner (Habeas).”
