Petitioner George W. Gibbs has filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis and

able to pay the full fee pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915.

17

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that petitioner’s motion for leave to proceed in forma

18

pauperis without having to prepay the full filing fee (ECF No. 1) is DENIED. Petitioner shall have

19

thirty (30) days from the date this order is ENTERED in which to have the designated fee sent to the

20

Clerk. Failure to do so may result in the dismissal of this action. The Clerk is directed to RETAIN the

21

petition but not file it at this time.
