UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

J. DOUGLAS HALFORD,

Petitioner,

v.

THE PEOPLE,

Respondent.

No. 2:14-cv-1827 AC P

ORDER AND FINDINGS AND 

RECOMMENDATIONS

Petitioner, a state prisoner at California Medical Facility, has filed a document styled as a 

“motion” seeking an extension of time to file an application for writ of habeas corpus. On August 

12, 2014, the court granted petitioner 30 days to file a petition for writ of habeas corpus, or suffer 

dismissal of this matter. The same day, the Clerk of the Court sent petitioner the court’s form for 

filing a petition for writ of habeas corpus, and the application to proceed in forma pauperis by a 

prisoner.

Petitioner has not filed a petition nor given any explanation for his failure to do so.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Clerk randomly assign a district court

judge to this case.

IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that this action be dismissed without prejudice.

These findings and recommendations are submitted to the United States District Judge 

assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. 636(b)(l). Within twenty-one days

after being served with these findings and recommendations, plaintiff may file written objections 

with the court. The document should be captioned “Objections to Magistrate Judge’s Findings 

and Recommendations.” Failure to file objections within the specified time may waive the right 

to appeal the District Court’s order. Martinez v. Ylst, 951 F.2d 1153 (9th Cir. 1991).
