ORDER

This case was opened on August 25, 2015, when Petitioner, a California prisoner,

filed a notice that he had exhausted claims in the California Supreme Court. Petitioner

was notified that same day that in order to proceed with his claims he would need to file

a habeas petition. He was provided the relevant forms, instructions, and a stamped return

envelope, and informed that the case would be dismissed if he did not file a petition

within 28 days. After nearly three months, he had not filed a habeas petition, and the

case was accordingly dismissed without prejudice on November 23, 2015. 

The Court has since received correspondence from Petitioner explaining his

efforts to complete an in forma pauperis (“IFP”) application. Petitioner paid the filing

fee, however, which made an IFP application unnecessary. It is clear from his

correspondence, however, that Petitioner wishes to pursue a habeas petition. To do so,

he file a habeas petition with the Court in a new case, preferably using the Court’s form

for habeas petitions. The instant case is closed and he may no longer pursue his claims
