UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

WAYNE PARKS, Civil No. 09-2719 WQH (WVG)

Petitioner,

ORDER DENYING IN FORMA

PAUPERIS APPLICATION AND

DISMISSING CASE WITHOUT

PREJUDICE

v.

ANTHONY HEDGPETH, Warden,

Respondent.

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has not paid the $5.00 filing fee and 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 pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a).

The request to proceed in forma pauperis is denied because Petitioner has not provided

the Court with sufficient information to determine Petitioner’s financial status. A request to

proceed in forma pauperis made by a state prisoner must include a signed certificate from the

warden or other appropriate officer showing the amount of money or securities Petitioner has

on account in the institution. Rule 3(a)(2), 28 U.S.C. foll. § 2254; Local Rule 3.2. Petitioner

has failed to provide the Court with the required Prison Certificate. 

Accordingly, the Court DENIES the request to proceed in forma pauperis, and

DISMISSES the case without prejudice. To have the case reopened, Petitioner must, no later

than March 22, 2010, provide the Court with: (1) a copy of this Order together with the $5.00
