STANLEY CARL SAHM,

Petitioner,

OFCORRECTIONS 

ANDREHABILITATION,

Respondent.

No. 2:19-cv-02515 TLN GGH P

ORDER

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus 

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §2254.

On March 25, 2020, the undersigned issued Findings and Recommendations 

recommending dismissal due to petitioner’s failure to respond to court orders or take any action to 

prosecute this case. ECF No. 8. Prior, petitioner had neither filed his amended § 1983 complaint, 

nor his application to proceed in forma pauperis by a prisoner. Id. Petitioner has now filed 

objections to the court’s March 25, 2020 Findings and Recommendations. ECF No. 9. 

Petitioner’s objections are confusing and seem to incorporate claims he seeks to present in his

amended complaint. Id. However, petitioner has failed to submit his amended complaint and an 

affidavit in support of his request to proceed in forma pauperis on the form provided by the Clerk 

of Court, or the required fees in the amount of $400.00. Nevertheless, the court will afford

petitioner one more opportunity to comply with the court’s instructions issued on February 11, 

2020. Petitioner shall take care to comply with the court’s deadlines and orders or risk a 

recommendation that this action be dismissed for failure to prosecute and/or to follow a court

3. Petitioner shall submit, within thirty days from the date of this order, an affidavit in 

support of his request to proceed in forma pauperis on the form provided by the Clerk of Court, or 

the required fees in the amount of $400.00;

4. The Clerk of the Court is directed to send petitioner a new Application to Proceed In 

Forma Pauperis By a Prisoner and a blank form complaint for civil rights claims brought pursuant 

to 42 U.S.C. § 1983;

5. The Clerk of the Court is directed to send petitioner a one-time courtesy copy of the 

court’s February 11, 2020 order; and
