NICHOLAS ADAM COX,

Petitioner,

v.

RALPH DIAZ,

Respondent.

Case No. 19-cv-05996-JD 

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

This is a habeas case filed pro se by a state prisoner. In the initial review order the Court 

found that petitioner appeared to have presented a second or successive petition and the underlying 

claim failed to state a federal claim. The petition was dismissed with leave to amend to address 

these deficiencies. The time to amend has passed and petitioner has not filed an amended petition. 

This case is DISMISSED for the reasons set forth in the prior screening order. A certificate of 

appealability is DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 15, 2020
