IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RONALD VELASQUEZ,

Petitioner,

 v.

GEORGE J. GIURBINO, et al.,

Respondents. /

No. C 10-01814 SBA (PR)

ORDER GRANTING PETITIONER AN

EXTENSION OF TIME TO PAY THE

FILING FEE OR FILE HIS

CERTIFICATE OF FUNDS

Petitioner has filed a pro se petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 

§ 2254. On that same date the Clerk of the Court sent a notice to Petitioner, informing him that his

action could not go forward until he paid the filing fee or filed a completed prisoner's in forma

pauperis (IFP) application. The Clerk sent Petitioner a blank IFP application and told him that he

must pay the fee or return the completed application within thirty days or his action would be

dismissed. 

Thereafter, Petitioner filed a completed IFP application and prisoner trust account statement;

however, he did not file copies of his certificate of funds. 

Before the Court is Petitioner's "Motion for Extension to Pay the Filing Fee of Five Dollars

to This Court."

 The Court cannot conduct an initial review of this matter until Petitioner has either paid the

filing fee or filed the requisite documents necessary to complete his IFP application. See 28 U.S.C.

§ 1915(a) (a party is permitted to file a civil action in federal court without prepayment of fees or

security if he makes affidavit that he is unable to pay such fees or give security therefor).

Accordingly, the Court grants Petitioner's request for an extension of time to pay the

requisite $5.00 filing fee in this action. No later than thirty (30) days from the date of this Order,

Petitioner shall pay the $5.00 filing fee and include with his payment a clear indication that it is for

the above-referenced case number, C 10-01814 SBA (PR). In the event that Petitioner is unable to

pay the filing fee, he shall submit a certificate of funds no later than thirty (30) days from the date

of this Order. Failure to pay the filing fee or file the requisite document within the thirty-day

deadline shall result in dismissal of this action. 

The Clerk shall send Petitioner a blank IFP application along with a copy of this Order.

This Order terminates Docket no. 6.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
