GREGG L. BARNES, Civil No. 07cv1757-J (NLS)

Petitioner,

ORDER DISMISSING CASE

Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 but has failed to pay the $5.00 filing fee and has failed to

move to proceed in forma pauperis. Because this Court cannot proceed until Petitioner 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 Petitioner wishes to proceed

with this case, he must submit, no later than November 13, 2007, a copy of this Order with the

$5.00 fee or with adequate proof of his inability to pay the fee.

Additionally, a Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus must be submitted in accordance

with the Local Rules of the United States District Court for the Southern District of California.

See Rule 2(d), 28 U.S.C. foll. § 2254. In order to comply with the Local Rules, the petition must

be submitted upon a court-approved form and in accordance with the instructions approved by

the Court. Id.; S.D.CAL.CIVLR HC.2(b). Presently, Petitioner has not submitted the application

for a writ of habeas corpus on a court-approved form. If Petitioner wishes to proceed with this
