UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MARLOW RENOISE STALLING,

Petitioner,

v.

DAVID BAUGHMAN,

Respondent.

No. 2:16-CV-2083 GB DB P

ORDER

Petitioner, a state prisoner at California State Prison, Sacramento, has filed a letter, 

seeking review of his conviction and sentence. No other pleadings have been filed by the 

petitioner. In order to commence an action, petitioner must file a petition for writ of habeas 

corpus as required by Rule 3 of the Rules Governing Section 2254 cases, and petitioner must 

either pay the required filing fee or file an application requesting leave to proceed in forma 

pauperis. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1914(a), 1915(a). The court will not issue any orders granting or 

denying relief until an action has been properly commenced. Therefore, petitioner’s request for 

review of his conviction and sentence will be denied without prejudice. Petitioner will be 

provided the opportunity to file his petition, and to submit an application requesting leave to 

proceed in forma pauperis or to submit the appropriate filing fee. 

In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Petitioner’s request (ECF No. 1) is denied without prejudice;

2. Petitioner is granted thirty days from the date of service of this order to file a petition 

that complies with the requirements of the Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases, the Federal 

Rules of Civil Procedure, and the Local Rules of Practice; the petition must bear the docket 

number assigned to this case; petitioner must file an original and two copies of the petition. 

Petitioner shall also submit, within thirty days from the date of this order, the application to 

proceed in forma pauperis on the form provided by the Clerk of Court, or the filing fee in the 

amount of $5.00. Petitioner’s failure to comply with this order will result in a recommendation 

that this matter be dismissed; and

3. The Clerk of the Court is directed to send 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.
