IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOHN MONTALVO,

Petitioner,

 v.

MALFI, Acting Warden,

Respondent. /

No. C 08-00047 SBA (PR)

ORDER DIRECTING 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 an affidavit that he is unable to pay such fees or give security therefor). 

Accordingly, Petitioner shall pay the requisite $5.00 filing fee in this action no later than

thirty (30) days from the date of this Order. He shall include with his payment a clear indication

that it is for the above-referenced case number, C 08-00047 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. 

The Clerk of the Court shall send Petitioner a blank prisoner IFP application form along with

his copy of this Order.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
