IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JAMES EDWARD THOMAS,

Petitioner,

 v.

JAMES WALKER, Warden,

Respondent. /

No. C 08-01778 SBA (PR)

ORDER OF DISMISSAL WITHOUT

PREJUDICE

Petitioner, a state prisoner, filed the present petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to

28 U.S.C. § 2254. On the same day the action was filed the Court sent a notification to Petitioner

informing him that his action could not go forward until he paid the filing fee or filed a completed

prisoner's in forma pauperis application. The Clerk of the Court sent Petitioner a blank in forma

pauperis application and told him that he must pay the fee or return the completed application within

thirty days or his action would be dismissed. Petitioner did not respond to the Clerk's notice. 

On May 30, 2008, the Court issued an Order Directing Payment of Filing Fee or Filing of In

Forma Pauperis Application. The Clerk sent Petitioner another blank in forma pauperis application. 

The Court directed Petitioner to either pay the fee or return the completed application within thirty

days or his action would be dismissed. 

On July 17, 2008, Petitioner filed another in forma pauperis application. However, more

than thirty days have passed, and Petitioner has not submitted a signed certificate of funds and/or a

prisoner trust account statement for the previous six months. Therefore, his in forma pauperis

application is incomplete.

Accordingly, this action is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. Petitioner's in forma

pauperis application is DENIED as incomplete. The Clerk of the Court shall close the file. 

This Order terminates Docket nos. 13, 14.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
