Pro se Petitioner Christopher Gunn initiated this case by submitting a Petition for Writ of

11

Habeas Corpus 1 on November 21, 2022, but he did not pay the $5 habeas filing fee or file an

12

application to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”). 2 On November 30, 2022, the court ordered

13

petitioner to either pay the filing fee or submit a complete IFP application with all required

14

attachments by January 13, 2023. 3 He was warned that a failure to comply would result in the

15

dismissal of this action without prejudice and without further advance notice. 4 To date, Gunn

16

has not filed a completed IFP application, paid the filing fee, requested an extension of time, or

17

taken any other action to prosecute this case.

18

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED:

19

1. Petitioner Christopher Gunn’s Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus [ECF No. 1-1]

20

is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE based his on failure to comply with

21

the court’s order [ECF No. 3] or the Local Rules of Practice.

22

2. Petitioner is denied a certificate of appealability, as jurists of reason would not

23

find dismissal of the petition for the reasons stated herein to be debatable or

24

wrong.
