DOUGLAS OBUJEN,

Petitioner,

 v.

NICK DAWSON, Warden,

Respondent. /

No. C 07-04831 CW (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. Petitioner

submitted an in forma pauperis application using the form from the

Eastern District, where his petition was originally filed. 

However, he did not file copies of his certificate of funds and

prisoner trust account statement. On September 20, 2007, this

action was transferred to this Court. On that same date, the Clerk

of the Court notified Petitioner that his in forma pauperis

application was deficient due to his failure to use the correct

form and to include a signed certificate of funds as well as a

prison trust account statement for the previous six months. The

Clerk 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. 

In an Order dated December 12, 2007, the Court informed

Petitioner that his action could not go forward until he paid the

filing fee or filed a completed prisoner's in forma pauperis

application using the correct form. The Court ordered the Clerk of

the Court to send Petitioner another blank in forma pauperis

application. The Court informed Petitioner that he must pay the

fee or return the completed application within thirty days of the

date of that Order or his action would be dismissed. More than

thirty days have passed and Petitioner has not paid the filing fee,

returned the in forma pauperis application or otherwise

communicated with the Court. 

Accordingly, this action is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. 

Petitioner's in forma pauperis application is DENIED as incomplete. 

The Clerk shall enter judgment in accordance with this Order and

close the file. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
