UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LANCE WILLIAMS,

Petitioner,

v.

SCOTT KERNAN and DANIEL 

PARAMO,

Respondents.

Case No.: 18-cv-1833-WQH-AGS

ORDER

HAYES, Judge:

Petitioner Lance Williams, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a Petition for 

Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (ECF No. 1). However, Williams has 

neither paid the $5.00 filing nor moved to proceed in forma pauperis. Because this Court 

cannot proceed until Williams has either paid the $5.00 filing fee or qualified to proceed 

in forma pauperis, the Court DISMISSES the case without prejudice. See Rule 3(a), 28 

U.S.C. foll. § 2254. If Williams wishes to proceed with this case, he must submit, no later 

than October 15, 2018, a copy of this Order with the $5.00 fee or with adequate proof of 

his inability to pay the fee. The Clerk of Court shall send a blank Southern District of 

California In Forma Pauperis Application to Petitioner along with a copy of this Order.

Dated: August 28, 2018
