UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ADAM ORTIZ,

Petitioner,

v.

RAYMOND MADDEN, Warden,

Respondent.

Case No.: 18cv1058 LAB (MDD)

ORDER DENYING MOTION TO 

PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS 

AND 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 together with a request to proceed in forma 

pauperis which reflects a $88.88 balance in his prison trust account. The filing fee 

associated with this type of action is $5.00. See 28 U.S.C. § 1914(a). It appears 

Petitioner can pay the filing fee. Accordingly, the Court DENIES the request to proceed 

in forma pauperis, and DISMISSES the case without prejudice and with leave to amend. 

If Petitioner wishes to proceed with this case, he must, no later than August 7, 2018, 

pay the $5.00 filing fee or submit adequate proof of his inability to pay the fee.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: June 12, 2018 _________________________________________
