ORDER

On August 1, 2012, Petitioner Edward F. Parks, who is confined in the Arizona State

Prison Complex-Yuma in San Luis, Arizona, filed a pro se Petition for Writ of Habeas

Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 and an Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis

(Doc. 2).

I. Failure to Pay Filing Fee

 Section 1914(a), 28 U.S.C., establishes a $5.00 filing fee for applications for a writ

of habeas corpus. Rule 3.5(b) of the Local Rules of Civil Procedure requires that “[i]f a

habeas corpus petitioner desires to prosecute the petition in forma pauperis, the petitioner

shall file an application to proceed in forma pauperis on a form approved by the Court,

accompanied by a certification of the warden or other appropriate officer of the institution

in which the petitioner is confined as to the amount of money or securities on deposit to the

petitioner’s credit.” Rule 3.5(b) also requires payment of the $5.00 filing fee if a petitioner

has in excess of $25.00 in his inmate account.

JDDL - 2 -

Although Petitioner has used the court-approved form, the “Certificate of Correctional

Official as to Status of Applicant’s Trust Account” section has not been completed by an

authorized correctional official, as required. In light of this discrepancy, the Court will deny

the Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis and will give Petitioner 30 days to either pay

the $5.00 filing fee or submit a complete Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis. 

II. Warnings

A. Address Changes

Petitioner must file and serve a notice of a change of address in accordance with Rule

83.3(d) of the Local Rules of Civil Procedure. Petitioner must not include a motion for other

relief with a notice of change of address. Failure to comply may result in dismissal of this

action.

B. Copies

Petitioner must submit an additional copy of every filing for use by the Court. See

LRCiv 5.4. Failure to comply may result in the filing being stricken without further notice

to Petitioner.

C. Possible Dismissal

If Petitioner fails to timely comply with every provision of this Order, including these

warnings, the Court may dismiss this action without further notice. See Ferdik v. Bonzelet,

963 F.2d 1258, 1260-61 (9th Cir. 1992) (a district court may dismiss an action for failure to

comply with any order of the Court).

IT IS ORDERED:

(1) Petitioner’s Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis (Doc. 2) is denied

without prejudice.

(2) Within 30 days of the date this Order is filed, Petitioner must either pay the

$5.00 filing fee or file a complete Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis.

(3) If Petitioner fails to either pay the $5.00 filing fee or file a complete

Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis within 30 days, the Clerk of Court must enter a
