UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GONZALO M. TORRES, Civil No. 06cv1855-WQH (NLS)

Petitioner,

ORDER DISMISSING CASE 

v. WITHOUT PREJUDICE

B. CURRY, Warden,

Respondent.

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a Petition for Writ of Habeas

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 27, 2006, a copy of this Order with the

$5.00 fee or with adequate proof of his inability to pay the fee. The Clerk of the Court shall send

a blank motion to proceed in forma pauperis form to Petitioner along with a copy of this Order.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: September 26, 2006
