 NOT FOR CITATION

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOHN ZINN,

Petitioner,

 v.

LEE ANN CHRAVES,

Respondent.

 /

No. C 08-0634 JF (PR)

ORDER OF DISMISSAL WITHOUT

PREJUDICE

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, seeks a writ of habeas corpus pursuant

to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On January 28, 2008, the Court sent a notification 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 application. The Clerk of the Court provided a copy

of the correct form for application to proceed in forma pauperis, instructions, and a

notification that the case would be dismissed if Petitioner failed to pay the fee or file the

completed application within thirty days. 

On March 24, 2008, the Court’s notice was returned by mail with a notation that

Petitioner is no longer in custody. As of the date of this order, Petitioner has not paid the

filing fee, filed a completed in forma pauperis application, or communicated with the Court.
