IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JESSE L. YOUNGBLOOD,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-07-0691 LKK GGH P

vs.

M.S. EVANS, Warden, et al.,

Respondents. ORDER

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner at Salinas Valley State Prison, has filed a document

styled “request,” seeking an extension of time, evidently for the purpose of filing a writ of habeas

corpus, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, challenging a sentence imposed upon him on August 25,

2003. In order to commence an action, petitioner must file a petition for writ of habeas corpus as

required by Rule 3 of the Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases, and petitioner must either pay the

required filing fee or file an application requesting leave to proceed in forma pauperis. See 28

U.S.C. §§ 1914(a), 1915(a). The court will not issue any orders granting or denying relief until

an action has been properly commenced. Therefore, petitioner’s motion will be denied without

prejudice. Petitioner will be provided the opportunity to file his petition, and to submit an

application requesting leave to proceed in forma pauperis or to submit the appropriate filing fee.

In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Petitioner’s March 29, 2007, request is denied without prejudice;

2. Petitioner is granted thirty days from the date of service of this order to file a

petition that complies with the requirements of the Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases, the

Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and the Local Rules of Practice; the petition must bear the

Petitioner shall also submit, within thirty days from the date of this order, the application to

proceed in forma pauperis on the form provided by the Clerk of Court, or the filing fee in the

amount of $5.00. Petitioner’s failure to comply with this order will result in a recommendation

that this matter be dismissed; and

3. The Clerk of the Court is directed to send petitioner the court’s form for filing

a petition for writ of habeas corpus, and the application to proceed in forma pauperis by a

prisoner.
