LEON RENEE HARVEY,

Petitioner,

 v.

BEN CURRY,

Respondent. /

No. C 07-02247 SBA (PR)

ORDER EXTENDING THE DEADLINE

FOR THE PAYMENT OF FILING FEE

OR FILING OF IN FORMA PAUPERIS

APPLICATION

Petitioner has filed a pro se petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 

§ 2254. However, Petitioner has not paid the requisite $5.00 filing fee or filed an application for

leave to proceed in forma pauperis (hereinafter "IFP"). The Court cannot conduct an initial review

of this matter until Petitioner has either paid the filing fee or completed an IFP application. See 28

U.S.C. § 1915(a) (a party is permitted to file a civil action in federal court without prepayment of

fees or security if he makes affidavit that he is unable to pay such fees or give security therefor). 

In an Order dated August 13, 2007, the Court directed Petitioner to pay the requisite $5.00

filing fee in this action no later than thirty days from the date of the Order. 

On August 24, 2007, Petitioner filed a letter with the Court stating that he requested the

Prison Account Trust Office to send a check for his filing fee on May 26, 2007. The record shows

that no such payment was received. To date, Petitioner has not the requisite $5.00 filing fee or filed

an application for leave to proceed IFP.

Accordingly, the Court grants Petitioner an extension of time to pay the requisite $5.00 filing

fee in this action. No later than thirty (30) days from the date of this Order, Petitioner shall pay the

$5.00 filing fee and include with his payment a clear indication that it is for the above-referenced

case number, C 07-02247 SBA (PR). In the event that Petitioner is unable to pay the filing fee, he

shall submit an IFP application, trust account statement and certificate of funds no later than thirty

(30) days from the date of this Order. Failure to pay the filing fee or file the requisite documents

within the thirty-day deadline shall result in dismissal of this action.
