Petitioner,

WARDEN, et al.,
15
ORDER AND FINDINGS AND
RECOMMENDATIONS
Respondents.
16
Petitioner is a state prisoner without counsel seeking a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to
17
18
28 U.S.C. § 2254. On March 15, 2017, the court ordered petitioner to, within 30 days, submit
19
either the filing fee or the application to proceed in forma pauperis required by § 1915(a). ECF
20
No. 3. That order warned petitioner that failure to comply with the order would result in a
21
recommendation of dismissal. The time for acting has passed and petitioner has not submitted the
22
filing fee or an application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis.1
Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that the Clerk randomly assign this case to a United
23
24
States District Judge.

Although it appears from the file that petitioner’s copy of the order was returned, he was
properly served. It is a party’s responsibility to keep the court apprised of his current address at
all times. Pursuant to Local Rule 182(f), service of documents at the record address of the party
is fully effective.
