UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DUANE ANGELO GITTENS,

Petitioner,

v.

ON HABEAS CORPUS,

Respondent.

No. 2:22-cv-01708-KJM-EFB (HC)

FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Mr. Gittens is a state prisoner without counsel. On November 2, 2022, the court found 

that Mr. Gittens had failed to either pay the appropriate filing fee or submit a proper application 

seeking leave to proceed in forma pauperis. ECF No. 9. Accordingly, the court directed Mr. 

Gittens to submit either the filing fee or the application required by 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a) within 

thirty days. Id. The court also warned Mr. Gittens that failure to do so would result in this action 

being dismissed. Id. The time for acting has now passed and Mr. Gittens has not paid the filing 

fee, submitted an application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis, or otherwise responded to 

the court’s order.

Accordingly, it is hereby RECOMMENDED that this action be dismissed without 

prejudice. 

These findings and recommendations are submitted to the United States District Judge 

assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l). Within fourteen days 

after being served with these findings and recommendations, any party may file written 

objections with the court and serve a copy on all parties. Such a document should be captioned
