IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

REGINALD T. LEWIS,

Petitioner,

 v.

R. K. WONG,

Respondent. /

No. C 09-04800 SBA (PR)

ORDER OF DISMISSAL WITHOUT

PREJUDICE

Petitioner, a state prisoner filed a pro se petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28

U.S.C. § 2254. In an Order dated March 5, 2010, after conducting a preliminary review of the

petition, the Court found the record did not contain enough information to permit it to ascertain

whether his petition was exhausted, stating:

Because Petitioner states that he has a habeas petition still pending before state

court, his present petition appears to be unexhausted for purposes of federal habeas

corpus review. Moreover, it is unclear to this Court whether Petitioner is seeking

federal habeas corpus relief based on other grounds for relief currently pending

before state court.

(Mar. 5, 2010 Order at 1.) The Court dismissed the petition and granted Petitioner thirty days to file

an amended petition "which clarifie[d] the nature and exhaustion status of all claims which he

[sought] to raise in his federal petition," or to suffer dismissal of the petition without prejudice. 

The Court also noted that Petitioner had paid the filing fee. 

More than thirty days have passed, and Petitioner has failed to file an amended petition. 

Accordingly, this action is DISMISSED without prejudice. The Court has rendered its final decision

on this matter; therefore, this Order TERMINATES Plaintiff's case. The Clerk of the Court shall

close the file.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
