IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RYAN MARINO,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-07-0686 GEB GGH P

vs.

JAMES WALKER,

Respondent. ORDER

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner at California State Prison, Sacramento, has filed a

document styled “request,” seeking an extension of time to file a habeas corpus petition. No

other pleadings have been filed by the petitioner. In order to commence an action, petitioner

must file a petition for writ of habeas corpus as required by Rule 3 of the Federal Rules of Civil

Procedure, and petitioner must either pay the required filing fee or file an application requesting

leave to proceed in forma pauperis. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1914(a), 1915(a). The court will not issue

any orders granting or denying relief until an action has been properly commenced. Therefore,

petitioner’s motion will be denied without prejudice. Petitioner will be provided the opportunity

to file his petition, and to submit an application requesting leave to proceed in forma pauperis or

to submit the appropriate filing fee.
