TYRONE LAMONT REED, SR.,

Petitioner,

v.

MARTIN BITER,

Respondent.

Case No. 16-cv-6192-TEH 

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

Dkt. No. 2

Petitioner Tyrone Reed, a state prisoner, filed a petition 

for a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Docket No. 

1. On the same day the action was filed, the Court notified 

Petitioner in writing that his action was deficient because he 

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

with his in forma pauperis (IFP) application a completed 

certificate of funds in his prison trust account (COF) signed by 

an authorized officer and a copy of his prison trust account 

statement for the last six months. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2). 

The notice informed Petitioner that if he did not pay the fee or 

submit the required documents within twenty-eight days from the 

date of the notice, his action would be dismissed and the file 

closed. 

More than twenty-eight days have passed since the notice was 

filed and Petitioner has not paid the fee or provided the Court 

with the requisite items, or otherwise communicated with the

Court. Accordingly, the action is DISMISSED without prejudice 

and Petitioner’s incomplete motion to proceed in forma pauperis 

(Docket No. 2) is DENIED.

Because reasonable jurists would not find the result here 

debatable, a certificate of appealability (“COA”) is DENIED. See

Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 484-85 (2000) (standard for 

COA). The Clerk shall close the file.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: 12/05/2016
