ORDER DENYING MOTION

TO PROCEED IN FORMA

PAUPERIS; GRANTING

EXTENSION OF TIME TO

FILE IN FORMA PAUPERIS

APPLICATION OR PAY

FILING FEE WITHIN

THIRTY DAYS 

(Docket No. 3)

On September 11, 2006, petitioner, proceeding pro se, filed the instant habeas

corpus action pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On that same day, the Court sent a

notification to Petitioner that he had neither paid the filing fee nor submitted a completed

application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. The Court provided a copy of the

correct form for application to proceed in forma pauperis, along with a return envelope,

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 September 19, 2006, Petitioner filed an incomplete motion for leave to proceed

in forma pauperis because he did not include a copy of a certificate of funds in his

prisoner trust account and a prisoner trust account statement showing transactions for the

preceding six months. However, in his petition Petitioner states that he is not in custody. 

Accordingly, the Court will extend the time for Petitioner to submit a completed nonprisoner application to proceed in forma pauperis, enclosed with this order, or pay the

$5.00 filing fee. Petitioner’s incomplete motion to proceed in forma pauperis (docket no.

3) is DENIED. 

The completed in forma pauperis application shall be filed with the Court within

thirty days from the date of this order. In the alternative, Petitioner may pay the $5.00

filing fee. Petitioner shall include with his payment a clear indication that it is for this

case number, C 06-5560 JF (PR). Failure to submit the completed in forma pauperis

application or pay the filing fee within the Court’s deadline will result in the Court

dismissing the case without prejudice for failure to file a completed in forma pauperis

application or pay the filing fee. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
