SISTO, et al., Respondents. / Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. The matter was referred to a United States Magistrate Judge pursuant to Eastern District of California local rules. On August 17, 2007, the magistrate judge filed findings and recommendations recommending this action be dismissed for failure to prosecute and failure to comply with court rules and orders. The basis of this recommendation was that petitioner had previously been ordered to either submit an application to proceed in forma pauperis or pay the filing fee. As of September 25, 2007, plaintiff had not complied. On September 25, 2007, the undersigned adopted the findings and recommendations. This action was dismissed and judgment was entered on September 26, 2007. 1
