LIONEL BLANKS,

Petitioner,

STATE OF CALIFORNIA,

Respondent.

Case No. 14-cv-05048-VC (PR)

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

WITHOUT PREJUDICE

On November 14, 2014, Lionel Blanks, a state prisoner, submitted a pro se petition for a 

writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 accompanied by an unsigned check.

On the same day the action was filed, the Clerk of the Court returned to Blanks his 

unsigned check and requested that he sign the check and return it in the enclosed envelop. By

November 21, 2014, when Blanks had not returned the check, the Clerk sent him a blank in forma 

pauperis application and a notice that he must return the completed application or pay the filing 

fee within twenty-eight days of the date of the notice or his action would be dismissed. 

More than twenty-eight days have passed and Blanks has not paid the filing fee, submitted 

his IFP application or otherwise communicated with the Court. 

Accordingly, this action is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. The Clerk shall 

terminate all pending motions, and close the file.
