UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

IRA GORDON,

Petitioner,

v.

T. VIRGA,

Respondent.

No. 2:15-cv-1316 DAD P

ORDER

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed an application for a writ of habeas 

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Petitioner has not, however, filed an in forma pauperis 

affidavit or paid the required filing fee ($5.00). See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1914(a); 1915(a).

By order filed June 30, 2015, the undersigned directed petitioner to either submit the 

appropriate affidavit in support of a request to proceed in forma pauperis or the appropriate filing 

fee. (ECF No. 3.) On August 3, 2015, petitioner filed a document with the court entitled “Trust 

Account Withdrawal Order,” on form CDC-193, dated July 2, 2015. (ECF No. 5.) That 

document appears to direct the withdrawal of $5.00 from petitioner’s prison trust account and the 

mailing of a check in that amount to this court on petitioner’s behalf. However, as of September 

8, 2015, the court had not received any funds bearing petitioner’s name.

Petitioner will be given one final opportunity to either submit the appropriate affidavit in 

support of a request to proceed in forma pauperis or the appropriate filing fee.

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

1. The Clerk of the Court is directed to send petitioner a copy of the in forma pauperis 

form used by this district.

2. Petitioner shall submit, within thirty days from the date of this order, an affidavit in 

support of his request to proceed in forma pauperis or the appropriate filing fee. Petitioner’s 

failure to comply with this order will result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed.
