IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JAMES EDWARD THOMAS, Petitioner,

No. C 08-03565 SBA (PR) ORDER OF DISMISSAL WITHOUT PREJUDICE

WALKER, Warden, et al., Respondents. /

Petitioner, a state prisoner, filed the present petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On the same day the action was filed the Court sent a notification to Petitioner informing him that his action could not go forward until he paid the filing fee or filed a completed prisoner's in forma pauperis application. The Clerk of the Court sent Petitioner a blank in forma pauperis application and told him that he must pay the fee or return the completed application within thirty days or his action would be dismissed. Petitioner did not respond to the Clerk's notice. On October 22, 2008, the Court issued an Order Directing Payment of Filing Fee or Filing of In Forma Pauperis Application. The Clerk sent Petitioner another blank in forma pauperis application. The Court directed Petitioner to either pay the fee or return the completed application within thirty days or his action would be dismissed. More than thirty days have passed and Petitioner has not paid the filing fee, returned the in forma pauperis application or otherwise communicated with the Court. Accordingly, this action is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. The Court has rendered its final decision on this matter; therefore, this Order TERMINATES Plaintiff's case. IT IS SO ORDERED. DATED: 12/17/08 _______________________________ SAUNDRA BROWN ARMSTRONG United States District Judge
