UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MAHAD AHMED,

Petitioner,

v.

RAYMOND MADDEN, Warden,

Respondent.

Case No.: 3:18-cv-02309-H-JLB

ORDER DISMISSING CASE 

WITHOUT PREJUDICE AND WITH 

LEAVE TO AMEND

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a Petition for Writ of Habeas 

Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, but has failed to pay the $5.00 filing fee and has 

failed to move to proceed in forma pauperis. Because this Court cannot proceed until 

Petitioner has either paid the $5 filing fee or qualified to proceed in forma pauperis, the 

Court dismisses the case without prejudice and with leave to amend. See Rule 3(a), 28 

U.S.C. foll. § 2254. If Petitioner wishes to proceed with this case, he must submit, no later 

than January 7, 2019, a copy of this Order with the $5 fee or with adequate proof of his 

inability to pay the fee. The Clerk of Court willsend a blank Southern District of California 

In Forma Pauperis Application to Petitioner along with a copy of this Order.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: November 7, 2018
