ERIC S. GARRISON,

Petitioner,

 v.

CALIFORNIA SUPERIOR COURT,

Respondent. /

No. C 07-06327 CW (PR)

ORDER REGARDING IN FORMA

PAUPERIS MOTION

Petitioner has filed a pro se petition for a writ of habeas

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On that same date, the Clerk

of the Court sent Petitioner a notice directing him to pay the

filing fee or to file a completed in forma pauperis (IFP)

application. Petitioner filed an IFP application; however,

Petitioner did not file copies of the Certificate of Funds and

prisoner trust account statement.

The Court cannot conduct an initial review of this matter

until Petitioner has either paid the filing fee or submitted a

complete IFP application. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a) (a party is

permitted to file a civil action in federal court without

prepayment of fees or security if he makes affidavit that he is

unable to pay such fees or give security therefor). If the

petitioner is a prisoner who alleges that he is unable to pay the

full filing fee at the time of filing, he must submit: (1) an

affidavit that includes a statement of all assets he possesses, and

(2) a certified copy of the trust fund account statement for the

prisoner for the six-month period immediately preceding the filing

of the action, obtained from the appropriate official of each

prison at which the prisoner is or was confined. See id.

§ 1915(a)(1), (2). If the Court determines that the petitioner is

unable to pay the full filing fee at the time of filing, the

petitioner will be granted leave to proceed IFP. 

Therefore, before the Court will proceed to review the

complaint Petitioner is hereby ORDERED to file copies of the

Certificate of Funds and prisoner trust account statement. He

shall include with these documents a clear indication that it is

for the above-referenced case number, C 07-06327 CW (PR).

Petitioner shall do so within thirty (30) days of the date of this

Order.

Failure to file copies of Petitioner's Certificate of Funds

and prisoner trust account statement as ordered herein by the

thirty-day deadline shall result in the dismissal of this action

without prejudice.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
