Case No. 3:17-cv-00378-MMD-WGC
Petitioner,
ORDER
v.
STATE OF NEVADA, et al.,
Respondents.
13
14
This action is a pro se petition for a writ of habeas corpus filed pursuant to 28
15
U.S.C. § 2254 by a Nevada state prisoner. Neither a filing fee nor an application to
16
proceed in forma pauperis was submitted with the petition. When filing a habeas action,
17
petitioner must either submit the $5.00 filing fee for habeas petition or an application to
18
proceed in forma pauperis. Due to the lack of an in forma pauperis application or filing
19
fee, the present action will be dismissed without prejudice to the filing of a new petition in
20
a new action with a pauper application with all required attachments. It does not appear
21
from the papers presented that a dismissal without prejudice would result in a promptly
22
filed new petition being untimely. In this regard, petitioner at all times remains responsible
23
for calculating the running of the limitations period as applied to his case and properly
24
commencing a timely filed habeas corpus action.
25
therefore is ordered that this action is dismissed without prejudice to the filing of a new
26
petition in a new action.
It
27
It is further ordered that the Clerk of the Court send petitioner the following: two (2)
28
copies of an in forma pauperis application form for a prisoner and one (1) copy of the
1
instructions for the same, two (2) copies of a blank 28 U.S.C. § 2254 habeas petition form
2
and one (1) copy of instructions for the same; and a copy of the petition (labeled “notice
3
of appeal” at ECF No. 1-1).
4
5
It is further ordered that petitioner may file a new petition in a new action, but may
not file further documents in this action.
6
It is further ordered that a certificate of appealability is denied. Reasonable jurists
7
would not find the dismissal of the improperly commenced action without prejudice to be
8
debatable or wrong.
9
It is further ordered that the Clerk of the Court enter judgment accordingly.
