UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

DOUGLAS SCOTT McFARLAND, 

Petitioner, 

v. 

STATE OF CALIFORNIA, 

Respondent. 

No. 2:16-cv-2568-EFB P 

ORDER 

Petitioner is a state prisoner without counsel seeking a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 

28 U.S.C. § 2254. This proceeding was referred to this court by Local Rule 302 pursuant to 28 

U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and is before the undersigned pursuant to petitioner’s consent. See 28 U.S.C. 

§ 636; see also E.D. Cal. Local Rules, Appx. A, at (k)(4). 

 On October 31, 2016, the court found that petitioner had failed to pay the $5 filing fee 

required by 28 U.S.C. § 1914(a) or request leave to proceed in forma pauperis and submit the 

affidavit and trust account statement required by 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a). Accordingly, the court 

ordered petitioner to submit either the filing fee or the application required by § 1915(a) within 

thirty days and warned him that failure to do so may result in this action being dismissed. 

The time for acting has passed and petitioner has not paid the filing fee, submitted an 

application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis or otherwise responded to the court’s order.
