ORDER

On February 29, 2008, petitioner filed a pro se petition for writ of habeas

corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 challenging the California Board of Parole

Hearings' ("BPH") November 6, 2006 decision to deny him parole. It was

assigned civil case number 08-1218 CRB (PR). The court informed petitioner in

writing on that same date that the case was deficient because he had not paid the

requisite $5.00 filing fee or filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis

under 28 U.S.C. § 1915.

On March 21, 2008, petitioner filed another pro se petition for a writ of

habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 challenging the BPH's November 6, 2006

decision to deny him parole. Petitioner prefaced the petition with a note

explaining that he had submitted the petition earlier, but was not sure if it had

been filed. The new petition was assigned civil case number 08-1574 CRB (PR)

and, as before, the court informed petitioner in writing that the case was deficient

because he had not paid the requisite $5.00 filing fee or filed an application to

proceed in forma pauperis under 28 U.S.C. § 1915.

Petitioner has since paid the requisite filing fee in civil case number 08-

1574 CRB (PR). All future filing with respect to petitioner's habeas challenge to

the BPH's November 6, 2006 decision shall be in civil case number 08-1574 CRB

(PR) only. The clerk is instructed to close civil case number 08-1218 CRB (PR)

as duplicative and improvidently opened. 

An order on the merits of civil case number 08-1574 CRB (PR) will issue

shortly.

SO ORDERED.

DATED: April 9, 2008
