 ORDER OF DISMISSAL

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAN FRANCISCO DIVISION

STEVE CRUMP,

Petitioner,

v.

DANIEL PARAMO, Warden, 

Respondent. /

No. C 14-5019 RS (PR)

No. C 15-0724 RS (PR)

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

These two federal habeas corpus actions, each of which alleges claims

identical to those presented in many prior petitions, e.g., 11-4920 RS, 11-5084 RS, and

13-0010 RS, will be dismissed as premature. They are not ready for review because

petitioner’s direct appeal is pending, the state appellate court having refused to grant his

request to dismiss his appeal. (No. C 15-0724, Pet. at 20.) Therefore, as the Court has

informed petitioner in many prior orders, abstention is appropriate because the petitions show

no reason justifying this Court’s interference in on-going state proceedings. See Younger v.

Harris, 401 U.S. 37, 43–54 (1971). The motions to proceed in forma pauperis are

GRANTED. The petitions are DISMISSED. 

 A certificate of appealability will not issue. Petitioner has not shown “that jurists of

reason would find it debatable whether the petition states a valid claim of the denial of a

constitutional right and that jurists of reason would find it debatable whether the district court

was correct in its procedural ruling.” Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 484 (2000).

The Clerk shall terminate all pending motions, enter judgment in favor of respondent in each

action, and close the files. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
