No. C 10-0846 MMC (PR) 

ORDER OF DISMISSAL;

DENYING LEAVE TO

PROCEED IN FORMA

PAUPERIS

 (Docket No. 2)

On February 26, 2010, petitioner, a California prisoner incarcerated at CTF-Soledad

and proceeding pro se, filed the above-titled petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to

28 U.S.C. § 2254. Together with his petition, petitioner filed an incomplete application to

proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”). That same date, the Court notified petitioner in writing

that the action was deficient due to petitioner’s failure to pay the requisite filing fee or,

instead, to submit a completed court-approved IFP application. Specifically, in said notice,

petitioner was advised that he must submit a Certificate of Funds in Prisoner’s Account

completed and signed by an authorized officer at the prison, and must attach a copy of his

prisoner trust account statement showing transactions for the last six months. Petitioner was

further advised that his failure to pay the filing fee or, alternatively, to file a completed IFP

application, within thirty days, would result in dismissal of the action. Along with said

notice, petitioner was sent a copy of the court-approved prisoner’s IFP application,

instructions for completing it, and a return envelope. 

More than thirty days have passed since the deficiency notice was sent to petitioner

and he has not filed a completed IFP application or paid the filing fee. Accordingly, the

The Clerk shall close the file.
