Case No. 3:16-cv-00050-HDM-WGC
Petitioner,

ORDER

v.
BACA, et al.,
Respondents.

16

Petitioner has submitted a pro se petition for writ of habeas corpus, pursuant to

17

28 U.S.C. § 2254, and a financial certificate (ECF Nos. 1-1, 1-3). He has not, however,

18

submitted a completed application to proceed in forma pauperis or the required inmate

19

account statements for the past sixth months. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2); Local Rule

20

LSR1-2. Petitioner submitted both a “notice” and a “letter” to the Clerk indicating his

21

belief that $14.88 was sent or transferred from his inmate account to the Clerk as the

22

filing fee to initiate this action (ECF Nos. 3, 4). The Clerk’s records do not reflect receipt

23

of any funds from Towles. Accordingly, petitioner shall have thirty (30) days to submit

24

either the $5.00 filing fee or a completed application to proceed in forma pauperis.

25

Failure to do so may result in the dismissal of this action without prejudice.
