No. CV 12-1902-PHX-GMS (BSB)

ORDER

On September 6, 2012, Petitioner Everett Gregory Casteel, who is confined in the

Arizona State Prison Complex-Eyman, filed a pro se Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Petitioner has not paid the $5.00 filing fee or filed an

Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis.

I. Failure to Pay Filing Fee

 Rule 3.5(b) of the Local Rules of Civil Procedure requires that “[i]f a habeas corpus

petitioner desires to prosecute the petition in forma pauperis, the petitioner shall file an

application to proceed in forma pauperis on a form approved by the Court, accompanied by

a certification of the warden or other appropriate officer of the institution in which the

petitioner is confined as to the amount of money or securities on deposit to the petitioner’s

credit.” Rule 3.5(b) also requires payment of the $5.00 filing fee if a petitioner has in excess

of $25.00 in his inmate account.

JDDL - 2 -

Because Petitioner has not paid the $5.00 filing fee or filed an Application to Proceed

In Forma Pauperis, Petitioner will be given 30 days from the date this Order is filed to either

pay the $5.00 filing fee or file a completed Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis using

the form included with this Order.

II. Warnings

A. Address Changes

Petitioner must file and serve a notice of a change of address in accordance with Rule

83.3(d) of the Local Rules of Civil Procedure. Petitioner must not include a motion for other

relief with a notice of change of address. Failure to comply may result in dismissal of this

action.

B. Copies

Because Petitioner is currently confined in ASPC-Eyman and this case is subject to

General Order 12-25, Petitioner is not required to submit an additional copy of every filing

for use by the Court, as would ordinarily be required by Local Rule of Civil Procedure 5.4.

If Petitioner is transferred to a prison other than ASPC-Eyman, he will be notified of the

requirements regarding copies for the Court that are required for inmates whose cases are not

subject to General Order 12-25

C. Possible Dismissal

If Petitioner fails to timely comply with every provision of this Order, including these

warnings, the Court may dismiss this action without further notice. See Ferdik v. Bonzelet,

963 F.2d 1258, 1260-61 (9th Cir. 1992) (a district court may dismiss an action for failure to

comply with any order of the Court).

IT IS ORDERED:

(1) Within 30 days of the date this Order is filed, Petitioner must either pay the

$5.00 filing fee or file a completed Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis.

(2) If Petitioner fails to either pay the $5.00 filing fee or file a completed

Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis within 30 days, the Clerk of Court must enter a
