IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DOUGLAS OBUJEN,

Petitioner,

 v.

NICK DAWSON, Warden,

Respondent. /

No. C 07-04831 CW (PR)

ORDER DIRECTING PAYMENT OF

FILING FEE OR FILING OF IN

FORMA PAUPERIS APPLICATION

Petitioner has filed a pro se petition for a writ of habeas

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. However, Petitioner has not

paid the requisite $5.00 filing fee or filed an application for

leave to proceed in forma pauperis (IFP). The Court cannot conduct

an initial review of this matter until Petitioner has either paid

the filing fee or completed an IFP application. See 28 U.S.C.

§ 1915(a) (a party is permitted to file a civil action in federal

court without prepayment of fees or security if he makes affidavit

that he is unable to pay such fees or give security therefor). 

Accordingly, Petitioner shall pay the requisite $5.00 filing

fee in this action no later than thirty (30) days from the date of

this Order. He shall include with his payment a clear indication

that it is for the above-referenced case number, C 07-04831 CW

(PR). In the event that Petitioner is unable to pay the filing

fee, he shall submit an IFP application, trust account statement

and certificate of funds no later than thirty (30) days from the

date of this Order. Failure to pay the filing fee or file the

requisite documents within the thirty-day deadline shall result in

dismissal of this action.
