UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ANDREW GAZZENY,

Petitioner,

v.

KEVIN R. CHAPPELL, Warden,

Respondent.

Case No. 14-cv-03800-HSG (PR) 

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

On January 14, 2015, the Court denied petitioner’s application to proceed in forma 

pauperis in this habeas action and directed him to pay the $5.00 filing fee by February 25, 2015. 

On January 30, 2015, petitioner filed a prison trust fund statement with the following handwritten 

notation, “Filing Fee Check for $5.00 enclosed.” See Dkt. No. 6 at 4. On March 10, 2015, the 

Court entered an order informing petitioner that the Court’s financial office had no record of the 

filing fee having been paid for this action. The Court extended to March 31, 2015, the deadline 

for petitioner to pay the $5.00 filing fee and advised him that his failure to do so would result in 

the dismissal of this action for failure to prosecute under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b). 

On March 30, 2015, petitioner filed a motion for an extension of time to April 15, 2015 to pay the 

filing fee. April 15, 2015 had now passed, and petitioner still has not paid his filing fee. 

Accordingly, this federal habeas action is DISMISSED without prejudice for failing to respond to 

the Court’s order, and for failure to prosecute, see Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b). Because this dismissal is 

without prejudice, petitioner may move to reopen the action. Any such motion must contain a 

complete IFP application or full payment for the $5.00 filing fee. The Clerk shall terminate 

Docket No. 8, enter judgment in favor of respondent, and close the file.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated:
