UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

GREGORY CHAFFINS, 

Petitioner, 

v. 

TOMAS A. FERRARA, 

Respondent. 

No. 2:14-cv-2924-EFB P 

ORDER 

Petitioner is a former county prisoner without counsel seeking a writ of habeas corpus 

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. This proceeding was referred to this court by Local Rule 302 

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and is before the undersigned pursuant to petitioner’s consent. 

See 28 U.S.C. § 636; see also E.D. Cal. Local Rules, Appx. A, at (k)(4). 

 On March 12, 2015, the court found that petitioner had failed to file an in forma pauperis 

application or pay the filing fee ($5.00) required by 28 U.S.C. §§ 1914(a) & 1915(a). 

Accordingly, the court ordered petitioner to file a completed in forma pauperis application or pay 

the filing fee within 30 days. That order warned petitioner that failure to do so may result in this 

action being dismissed.

Dated: April 15, 2015.

 Although it appears from the file that petitioner’s copy of the order was returned, 

petitioner was properly served. It is the petitioner’s responsibility to keep the court apprised of 

his current address at all times. Pursuant to Local Rule 182(f), service of documents at the record 

address of the party is fully effective.
