ORDER

On October 19, 2015, the court entered an order denying petitioner’s motion to proceed in

15

forma pauperis, but allowing him thirty days within which to pay the $5.00 filing fee for this habeas

16

corpus action. ECF No. 3. Petitioner has not complied with the court’s order within the allotted

17

time, so the court will dismiss this action. Reasonable jurists would not find the court’s conclusion

18

to be debatable or wrong, so the court will not issue a certificate of appealability.

19

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that this action is dismissed without prejudice for

20

petitioner’s failure to comply with the court’s order. The Clerk of the Court shall enter judgment

21

accordingly.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that no certificate of appealability shall issue.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk shall add Adam Paul Laxalt, Attorney General
