Order Dismissing Case

Jo Gentry, et al.,

[ECF No. 6]

Respondents

On August 28, 2017, I ordered pro se petitioner Kelvin Wilson to show cause why this 28

11

U.S.C. § 2254 habeas corpus petition shouldn’t be dismissed as untimely.1 I also warned him

12

that failure to respond to my order within 30 days would result in the dismissal of this case. That

13

30-day deadline has now passed, and Wilson has not responded to my order.

14

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Wilson’s petition [ECF No. 6] is

15

DISMISSED with prejudice as time-barred. I decline to issue a certificate of appealability

16

because reasonable jurists could not find the forewarned dismissal of this case as time-barred to

17

be debatable or wrong.

The Clerk of Court is directed to enter judgment accordingly and CLOSE THIS
CASE.

DATED: December 13, 2017.
