UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ROMON BENITEZ,

Petitioner,

v.

CHARLES W. CALLAHAN, Warden,

Respondent.

Case No.: 17cv1926 CAB (JMA)

ORDER DISMISSING CASE 

WITHOUT PREJUDICE

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. See Rule 3(a), 28 U.S.C. 

foll. § 2254. If Petitioner wishes to proceed with this case, he must submit, no later than 

November 30, 2017, 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 shall send a blank Southern District of 

California In Forma Pauperis Application to Petitioner along with a copy of this Order.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: September 26, 2017
