No C-09-5851 VRW (PR)

ORDER DISMISSING PETITION FOR

WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS; DENYING

CERTIFICATE OF APPEALABILITY

This habeas corpus action by pro se prisoner Phuoc Vong

was filed on December 15, 2009. Doc #1. The court notified

petitioner in writing at that time that the action was deficient

because he did not pay the requisite $ 5.00 filing fee or, instead,

submit a signed and completed court-approved in forma pauperis

application, including a completed certificate of funds in his 

prison account and a copy of his prison trust account statement for

the last six months. See 28 USC § 1915(a)(2). Petitioner was

advised that failure to file the requested items within thirty (30)

days would result in dismissal of the action. Doc #2.

On January 12, 2010, petitioner requested an additional

thirty (30) days by which to file the requested items. Doc #3. 

Almost fifty (50) days have elapsed since petitioner requested

additional time to file the necessary items with the court; however,

he still has not provided the court with the requisite items, or

sought another extension of time to do so. 

The action, therefore, is DISMISSED without prejudice

subject to petitioner filing a new habeas action accompanied by the

requisite $5.00 filing fee or a signed and completed in forma

pauperis application. 

Further, a certificate of appealability is DENIED. See

Rule 11(a) of the Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases (effective Dec

1, 2009). Petitioner may not appeal the denial of a certificate of

appealability in this court but may seek a certificate from the

court of appeals under Rule 22 of the Federal Rules of Appellate

Procedure. Id. 

The clerk shall close the file and terminate all pending

motions as moot. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
