UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

PATRICK THOMPSON, Civil No. 07-0184 WQH (JMA)

Petitioner,

ORDER DISMISSING CASE 

WITHOUT PREJUDICE AND WITH

LEAVE TO AMEND

v.

V.M. ALMAGER, Warden

Respondent.

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a Petition for Writ of Habeas

Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, but has failed to pay the $5.00 filing fee and has failed to

move to proceed in forma pauperis. Because this Court cannot proceed until Petitioner has either

paid the $5.00 filing fee or qualified to proceed in forma pauperis, the Court DISMISSES the

case without prejudice and with leave to amend. See Rule 3(a), 28 U.S.C. foll. § 2254. If

Petitioner wishes to proceed with this case, he must submit, no later than April 9, 2007, a copy

of this Order with the $5.00 fee or with adequate proof of his inability to pay the fee. THE

CLERK OF COURT IS DIRECTED TO MAIL PETITIONER A BLANK MOTION TO

PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS FORM.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: February 1, 2007
