No. C 08-0288 JF (PR)

ORDER GRANTING EXTENSION OF

TIME TO PAY FILING FEE OR FILE IN

FORMA PAUPERIS APPLICATION 

WITHIN THIRTY DAYS

(Docket No. 3)

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, seeks a writ of habeas corpus pursuant

to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. As of the date of this order, Petitioner has not paid the requisite $5.00

filing fee or filed an application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”). The Court

cannot conduct an initial review of this matter until Petitioner has either paid the filing fee or

submitted an IFP application. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a) (a party is permitted to file a civil

action in federal court without prepayment of fees or security if he makes affidavit that he is

unable to pay such fees or give security therefor). 

 On February 12, 2008, Petitioner filed a copy of a trust account withdrawal order,

showing that he requested that prison officials pay the $5.00 filing fee from his prisoner trust
