No. C 15-4579 RS (PR)

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

United States District Court

For the Northern District of California

*E-Filed 1/4/16*

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAN FRANCISCO DIVISION

STEVE CRUMP,

Petitioner,

v.

JOHN SOTO,

Respondent.

 /

No. C 15-4579 RS (PR)

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

Petitioner has failed to pay the $5.00 filing fee by the deadline. Accordingly, this

federal habeas action is DISMISSED without prejudice. His motions to extend time to pay

the fee (Docket Nos. 13 and 16) are DENIED. His motion for leave to file his traverse

(Docket No. 14) is DENIED as premature. A traverse cannot be filed until after respondent

has filed an answer. The filed traverse (Docket No. 15) shall not constitute any part of this

action. 

Because this dismissal is without prejudice, petitioner may move to reopen at any

time. Any such motion must contain (1) full payment for the $5.00 filing fee, or, (2) if

petitioner can no longer afford to pay the fee, a complete application to proceed in forma

pauperis (“IFP”) showing that he lacks sufficient funds. An IFP application will be sent to

him. The Clerk shall terminate Docket Nos. 13 and 16, enter judgment in favor of

respondent, and close the file. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: January 4, 2016
