Petitioner,

Respondent.

No. C-09-5997 TEH (PR)

ORDER DISMISSING PETITION FOR

WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS; DENYING

CERTIFICATE OF APPEALABILITY

This habeas corpus action by a pro se prisoner was filed

on December 22, 2009. Doc. #1. On December 30, 2009, the Court

notified Petitioner in writing that the action was deficient because

he did not pay the requisite $ 5.00 filing fee or, instead, submit a

signed and completed court-approved in forma pauperis application,

including a signed and completed certificate of funds in his

prisoner’s account and a copy of his prisoner’s trust account

statement for the last six months. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2). 

Petitioner was advised that failure to file the requested items

within thirty (30) days would result in dismissal of the action. 

Doc. #7.

Over three months have elapsed since Petitioner was

notified of his filing deficiency; however, he has not provided the

Court with the requisite items, or sought an extension of time to do

so. Accordingly, the action is DISMISSED without prejudice. 

Further, a Certificate of Appealability is DENIED. See

Rule 11(a) of the Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases (effective Dec.

1, 2009). Petitioner may not appeal the denial of a Certificate of

Appealability in this Court but may seek a certificate from the

Court of Appeals under Rule 22 of the Federal Rules of Appellate

Procedure. Id. 

The Clerk shall terminate all pending motions as moot and

close the file. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED 04/13/10
