STIG STRONG,

Case No. 3:17-cv-00381-MMD-WGC
Petitioner,

ORDER

v.

11

13

CARSON CITY,
Respondent.

14

In this case, Stig Strong, who is apparently a prisoner at the Carson City Jail, in

15

Carson City, Nevada, submitted what he apparently meant to be a petition for writ of

16

habeas corpus, for filing, on June 19, 2017 (ECF No. 1-1). However, Strong did not pay

17

the $5 filing fee, and he did not submit an application to proceed in forma pauperis.

18

Furthermore, Strong’s petition is not on a form approved by the Court, and is plainly

19

incomplete. Therefore, this case will be dismissed without prejudice to Strong initiating a

20

new habeas corpus action. If Strong wishes to initiate a new habeas corpus action, he

21

must submit a fully completed petition for writ of habeas corpus on a correct form, together

22

with payment of the filing fee or an application to proceed in forma pauperis.

23

It is therefore ordered that this action is dismissed without prejudice.

24

It is further ordered that the petitioner is denied a certificate of appealability.

25

It is further ordered that the Clerk of the Court send to the petitioner, along with a

26

copy of this order, two (2) copies of the form for a petition for a writ of habeas corpus, two

27

(2) copies of the form for an application to proceed in forma pauperis for prisoners, and

28

any available instructions regarding those forms.

1

It is further ordered that the petitioner may file a habeas corpus petition (on a

2

correct form and fully completed), along with payment of the filing fee or an application to

3

proceed in forma pauperis, to initiate a new habeas corpus action. The Court will accept

4

no further filings in this case.

5

It is further ordered that the Clerk of the Court enter judgment accordingly.
